Draft Grade — Packers
Overall C+
ValueC NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did enough to get by: C+.

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Jordan Strachan at No. 245 is 100 spots clear of where he belonged.

The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick Analysis
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick50 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at Round 2, Pick 18 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A reach for Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 53; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Renardo Green
They reached into another round for Renardo Green, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jarrian Jones
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jarrian Jones. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in the 126th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
Walter Rouse at No. 169 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
A big swing on Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 202nd overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at slot 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jordan Strachan
Jordan Strachan in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tyler Owens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Owens. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
