Draft Grade — Packers

The Packers checked most of the boxes and earned a B-. The Brady Cook selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 48 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Landing Walker that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick32
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In No. 32 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
A quiet steal in the 34th pick: Jalon Walker for less than the market said. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick54
Rnd2
Bradyn Swinson
A straight-up fair deal on Bradyn Swinson at pick 54, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick64
Rnd2
Darien Porter
Darien Porter in Round 2, Pick 32 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick103
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
They jumped the gun on Anthony Belton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick120
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Nohl Williams. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141
Rnd5
Antwaun Powell-Ryland
Antwaun Powell-Ryland in pick 141 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick159
Rnd5
Ajani Cornelius
A reach for Ajani Cornelius in Round 5, Pick 21; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick188
Rnd6
Tyler Cooper
They went early on Tyler Cooper in slot 188, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick198
Rnd6
Nazir Stackhouse
Nazir Stackhouse at the 198th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick237
Rnd7
Brady Cook
Brady Cook at the 237th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
