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

The Packers spent real capital to be 25 picks early on Javon Bullard, and the board is going to hold them to it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Rakestraw Jr. value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Rome Odunze
Rome Odunze at pick No. 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A wild overpay on Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A cornerback of that caliber at the 57th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Trey Benson slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Nelson Ceaser
Nelson Ceaser at No. 91 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick125 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
You do not let an offensive lineman like Matt Goncalves reach Round 4, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
Value with a capital V on Javon Foster in slot 135, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
A straight-up fair deal on Jawhar Jordan at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kenny Logan Jr.
They let Kenny Logan Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 217. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Brevyn Spann-Ford
Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 6, Pick 44 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson is a better player than pick 246 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
