Draft Grade — Packers

Larceny in No. 217 lands the Packers a B-, McCoy and all.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Bru McCoy, the No. 188 name on the board, sitting there at No. 217 like a gift left on the doorstep.

It is not that Bullard is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
In the 19th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Fair-plus on Chris Braswell, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick51 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
A straight-up fair deal on Calen Bullock at pick No. 51, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick83 Rnd3 Javon Bullard
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent slot 83 on Javon Bullard, a safety they were not short of.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in No. 92, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119 Rnd4 Ray Davis
Ray Davis at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick135 Rnd4 Javion Cohen
By-the-book stuff, Javion Cohen at pick 135 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197 Rnd6 Christian Jones
They let Christian Jones come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 22. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy in the 217th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Omar Speights
Omar Speights at slot 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick240 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones at Round 7, Pick 20 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
