Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-.

The Packers torched the value chart for Tyler Owens, taking him 36 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They banked enough surplus on McCormick to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Brian Thomas Jr.
In pick 25 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in pick No. 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They will replay Mason McCormick at pick 169 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They paid sticker price for Jared Wiley in the 202nd overall pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tyler Owens
A big swing on Tyler Owens at Round 6, Pick 44, well ahead of any board in the building. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio slid further than he should have, and No. 245 is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Bub Means
Value with a capital V on Bub Means in pick No. 255, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
