Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueC+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The Packers went off the board in a big way for Jaden Hicks, 50 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

DeJean at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
Chop Robinson in the 41st overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the Round 2 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at slot 88. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick92 Rnd3 Jamari Thrash
No edge and no loss on Jamari Thrash in the 92nd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent pick 125 on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
Pick135 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
They paid up for Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot when waiting would have done the job. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at pick 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick217 Rnd6 Zion Logue
They talked themselves into Zion Logue at the 217th pick, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Matthew Jones
The board had cheaper options than Matthew Jones at No. 219, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick246 Rnd7 Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in slot 246 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
