Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
Grand theft in slot 249: the Packers steal Harden and grade out a B-.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Myles Harden slide 40 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Muasau lower, and that gap is the story.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Amarius Mims
In pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick41 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at Round 2, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick58 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 58th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick91 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Value with a capital V on Austin Booker in slot 91, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick109 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jarvis Brownlee Jr.
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. in the 126th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick143 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick169 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis is a better player than pick No. 169 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick187 Rnd6 Dwight McGlothern
Taking Dwight McGlothern in slot 187 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick205 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at Round 6, Pick 30 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Jordan Magee
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in pick 219. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick245 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
They paid up for Darius Muasau at the 245th pick when waiting would have done the job. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick249 Rnd7 Myles Harden
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Myles Harden in pick No. 249, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick255 Rnd7 Ryan Watts
Ryan Watts at No. 255 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
