Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

There is reaching, and then there is John Emery Jr. at the 246th pick. The Packers jumped the board by 85 and dared it to prove them wrong. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Packers indulged a want in Solomon while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 9; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
They paid a round early for Javon Bullard in slot 57, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 88th pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
A want over a need in No. 91: Javon Solomon adds an OLB-EDGE while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 125 on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
Pick135 Rnd4 Justin Rogers
Justin Rogers at the 135th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
Jawhar Jordan in pick No. 203 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Myles Jones
Myles Jones slipping to slot 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219 Rnd6 Eric Gentry
Value said wait; Eric Gentry in Round 6, Pick 44 says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick246 Rnd7 John Emery Jr.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for John Emery Jr.. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
