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

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent pick No. 246 on John Emery Jr., a name most had 97 spots down the list.

Landing Polk that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Troy Fautanu
In the 25th pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Nothing to complain about; Chop Robinson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 57 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Ja'Lynn Polk
Taking Ja'Lynn Polk in the 88th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91 Rnd3 Ruke Orhorhoro
Ruke Orhorhoro in No. 91 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Good price on Darius Robinson in pick No. 125, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at pick No. 135 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick203 Rnd6 Omar Speights
By-the-book stuff, Omar Speights at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jawhar Jordan
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jawhar Jordan in pick 217. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
A big swing on Demani Richardson at the 219th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick246 Rnd7 John Emery Jr.
Value said wait; John Emery Jr. in No. 246 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
