Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Xavier Thomas, 29 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They left a pile of value on the table to take Edgerrin Cooper this early at Round 2, Pick 9. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in slot 57 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Junior Colson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
A slide stopped in pick No. 91, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Will Shipley
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A curious use of slot 135. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Cole Bishop did not.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 28. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217 Rnd6 Xavier Thomas
A wild overpay on Xavier Thomas in the 217th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Zion Logue
Zion Logue at pick No. 219 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
