Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Gould should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

You build a draft on nights like this. Anthony Gould had no business being available in pick 202, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Reaching for Cooper left real value on the table behind him.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
Nothing to complain about; Troy Fautanu went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reach for Edgerrin Cooper in pick 41; a little patience would have been rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jer'Zhan Newton
Jer'Zhan Newton in the 58th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaden Hicks in slot 88. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick91 Rnd3 DJ James
The board fumbled DJ James all the way to pick No. 91, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Mekhi Wingo
They barely believed it either: Mekhi Wingo still on the board at No. 126. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick169 Rnd5 Kitan Oladapo
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 33: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick202 Rnd6 Anthony Gould
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 202nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Steal is underselling it; Kamal Hadden at the 219th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kendall Milton
Kendall Milton at No. 245 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
