Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B.

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Evan Anderson in pick 219. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Nick Folk deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot.
Pick41 Rnd2 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at Round 2, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kool-Aid McKinstry
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick No. 58, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in the 88th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A tidy bit of business in slot 127, where Cole Bishop graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 32: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick204 Rnd6 Jarrian Jones
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at the 204th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219 Rnd6 Evan Anderson
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick243 Rnd7 Edefuan Ulofoshio
By-the-book stuff, Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 243 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick251 Rnd7 Rasheen Ali
They will replay Rasheen Ali at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
