Draft Grade — Packers
Overall A-
ValueB- NeedB TradesA+ FutureA
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-.

Some picks age like wine; Jo'Quavious Marks at the Round 4 slot will need to, sitting 71 spots clear of his grade. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.

Roberts falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

In short, they turned a good board into a better roster, and it shows.

Pick Analysis
Pick40 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 40 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44 Rnd2 Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine slid further than he should have, and pick 44 is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick51 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
A conviction pick on Cooper DeJean at the 51st overall pick that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick83 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
They paid up for Zach Frazier at slot 83 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jo'Quavious Marks
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jo'Quavious Marks this early at pick No. 119. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135 Rnd4 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in pick 135, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197 Rnd6 Jamari Thrash
Taking Jamari Thrash in the 197th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Joshua Gray
Joshua Gray at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
They paid sticker price for Darius Muasau in No. 219, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan at Round 7, Pick 3 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Willie Roberts
They robbed the room for Willie Roberts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
