Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Cedric Gray; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 22 spots ahead at pick No. 91.

Getting Milton III where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 JC Latham
A quiet steal in Round 1, Pick 25: JC Latham for less than the market said. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick41 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Ricky Pearsall
They took Ricky Pearsall at par in pick 58, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Max Melton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at slot 88 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the 91st overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126 Rnd4 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
They reached a country mile for Jordan Magee at pick No. 202, and the board is aghast. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
They will replay Joe Milton III at slot 219 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
They jumped the gun on Kimani Vidal, taking him earlier than his grade liked. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Bub Means at pick 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
