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

The Roger Rosengarten selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 47 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They banked enough surplus on Hart to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In the 25th overall pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper slipping to pick 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Roger Rosengarten in slot 88, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Cam Hart
They barely believed it either: Cam Hart still on the board at the Round 4 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini in the 169th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick202 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
A big swing on Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 202, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245 Rnd7 Dominique Hampton
They let Dominique Hampton come to them and pounced at slot 245. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick255 Rnd7 Carter Bradley
Carter Bradley in pick 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
