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

It is a puzzling start. The Packers had quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to solve and reached instead for Cole Bishop, a safety, at pick 135. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Watson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Tyler Nubin
In pick No. 25 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Adisa Isaac
Adisa Isaac at No. 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at pick No. 88 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in the 125th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
Pick203 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
By-the-book stuff, Jawhar Jordan at the 203rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jaden Crumedy
Jaden Crumedy in Round 6, Pick 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick219 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at No. 219 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick246 Rnd7 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse in the 246th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
