Green Bay Packers

The Packers lost the trade table, and the D tells the story.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Cole Bishop, 36 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 27
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Morgan at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 52
They paid up for Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 41 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
A premium they did not need to pay, Johnny Wilson a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 119
A real head-scratcher, Kris Abrams-Draine in Round 3, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 128
A big swing on Cole Bishop at No. 92, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 106
A reach for Marshawn Kneeland in pick 94; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 115
Will Shipley in Round 3, Pick 35 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · James Williams · S · rank 129
A want over a need in the 125th overall pick: James Williams adds a safety while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 127
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in No. 128; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 177
They went early on Jordan Jefferson in slot 161, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Braiden McGregor · DL-EDGE · rank 198
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Braiden McGregor. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.39 · Pick 175 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 189
A conviction pick on JD Bertrand at pick No. 175 that the board grades a round light. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
