Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers let Pritchett fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Nehemiah Pritchett fell into No. 169. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Bishop lower, and that gap is the story. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
The board had cheaper options than Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41, and it noticed. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kris Jenkins at the 58th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
A premium they did not need to pay, Cole Bishop a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaylen Wright
They robbed the room for Jaylen Wright here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Jones in pick 126. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick169 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
You do not let a cornerback like Nehemiah Pritchett reach No. 169 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202 Rnd6 Julian Pearl
A straight-up fair deal on Julian Pearl at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219 Rnd6 Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable in the Round 6 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245 Rnd7 LaDarius Henderson
LaDarius Henderson in the 245th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick255 Rnd7 Solomon Byrd
No edge and no loss on Solomon Byrd in pick 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
