Draft Grade — Packers
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in the 219th overall pick lands the Packers a B-, Williams and all.

The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Miyan Williams slide 29 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Nothing to complain about; Nate Wiggins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Graham Barton in the 41st overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick51 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
They paid sticker price for Calen Bullock in Round 2, Pick 19, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick83 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum at slot 83 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick93 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in pick 93; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 119th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, James Williams adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick174 Rnd5 Julian Pearl
By-the-book stuff, Julian Pearl at No. 174 squarely in line with his ranking. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
Pick197 Rnd6 Bru McCoy
Bru McCoy is a better player than the 197th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at No. 217 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Miyan Williams
Taking Miyan Williams in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick240 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Fair-plus on Blake Watson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
