Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
The Packers let McCoy fall into their laps, and walked away with a B+.

You build a draft on nights like this. Bru McCoy had no business being available in the Round 6 slot, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B+.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Packers indulged a want in Gray while a need in quarterback, tight end and other spots stayed open.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Cohen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick26 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at pick 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick53 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins in the 53rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Good price on Trey Benson in slot 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at the 92nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119 Rnd4 Junior Colson
They did well to land Junior Colson in No. 119, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick121 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cedric Gray at linebacker with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick126 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
The board had cheaper options than Javion Cohen at pick No. 126, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135 Rnd4 Ray Davis
They let Ray Davis come to them and pounced at the 135th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi is a better player than the 197th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at No. 217 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Steal is underselling it; Bru McCoy at pick 219 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick240 Rnd7 Jeremy James
They paid sticker price for Jeremy James in pick No. 240, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick242 Rnd7 Fentrell Cypress II
Nice patience on Fentrell Cypress II, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 22. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
