Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+.

Nobody else had Brennan Armstrong anywhere near pick No. 217. The Packers did, by 55 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Dallas Turner
A edge rusher of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 9 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
A clean, defensible pick in the 57th pick with a little surplus value in Kingsley Suamataia. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick88 Rnd3 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
They jumped the gun on Jaden Hicks, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
Javion Cohen at No. 125 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175 Rnd5 Aki Ogunbiyi
Aki Ogunbiyi at slot 175 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick217 Rnd6 Brennan Armstrong
A wild overpay on Brennan Armstrong in pick 217, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
Taking De'Corian Clark in Round 6, Pick 44 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick246 Rnd7 Ja'Had Carter
No drama and no debate, Ja'Had Carter went about where he belonged in the 246th pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
