Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Oladapo should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Kitan Oladapo slide 37 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Wedig pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Chop Robinson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick57 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
A straight-up fair deal on Jonathon Brooks at No. 57, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
You do not let an edge rusher like Chris Braswell reach slot 88 and blink. They did not. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at the 91st pick is the definition of value, full stop. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick125 Rnd4 Max Melton
Max Melton at Round 4, Pick 25 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javon Foster
A reasonable price with a little left over, Javon Foster in pick 135. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick203 Rnd6 Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the 203rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick217 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 217 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Joshua Cephus
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joshua Cephus. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246 Rnd7 Trey Wedig
They reached into another round for Trey Wedig, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
