Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB FutureB-
Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The Packers torched the value chart for Kimani Vidal, taking him 33 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They banked enough surplus on Bishop to cover a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick32 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the Round 2 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slid further than he should have, and No. 58 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88 Rnd3 Khyree Jackson
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cedric Gray at linebacker with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
Pick95 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at the 95th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Steal is underselling it; Cole Bishop at pick No. 126 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick128 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Jones at the 128th overall pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick134 Rnd4 Mason McCormick
A reach for Mason McCormick in the 134th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick169 Rnd5 Luke McCaffrey
Luke McCaffrey in pick 169 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
They reached a country mile for Trevin Wallace at the Round 6 slot, and the board is aghast. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal at No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245 Rnd7 Bub Means
No drama and no debate, Bub Means went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 25. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Value said wait; Blake Watson in slot 255 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
