Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Cedric Gray pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 35 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

That Rouse pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Packers indulged a want in Bishop while a need in quarterback and interior defensive lineman stayed open. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at No. 58 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper Beebe in slot 88. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in pick 91 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick127 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cole Bishop at safety with quarterback and interior defensive lineman open.
Pick168 Rnd5 Jaylan Ford
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at Round 5, Pick 32, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick204 Rnd6 Walter Rouse
Somehow Walter Rouse was still sitting there in pick 204, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick216 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
A premium they did not need to pay, Rasheen Ali a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick243 Rnd7 Tayvion Robinson
A quiet steal in No. 243: Tayvion Robinson for less than the market said. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick251 Rnd7 Tip Reiman
Steal is underselling it; Tip Reiman at the 251st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
