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 slot 84 on Jude Bowry, a name most had 38 spots down the list.

They banked enough surplus on Nwokobia to cover a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. The back end got a real overhaul.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick52 Rnd2 D'Angelo Ponds
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in D'Angelo Ponds. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick84 Rnd3 Jude Bowry
Jude Bowry in pick 84 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick120 Rnd4 Gracen Halton
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gracen Halton this early at slot 120. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick160 Rnd5 Nate Boerkircher
The board had Nate Boerkircher higher than pick No. 160, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick201 Rnd6 Josh Cameron
Josh Cameron at the 201st pick is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick236 Rnd7 Isaiah Nwokobia
Circle this one: Isaiah Nwokobia at the 236th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick255 Rnd7 Charles Demmings
Taking Charles Demmings in the 255th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
