Green Bay Packers

The Bishop reach set the tone, and the Packers never recovered: F.

The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 34 spots for Cole Bishop, and value like that does not grow back.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

On value alone, Hart makes the weekend a net positive.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left quarterback open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 27
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
Brenden Rice at slot 56 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
They paid a round early for Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 115
They left a pile of value on the table to take Will Shipley this early at Round 3, Pick 24. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 106
A wild overpay on Marshawn Kneeland in the 88th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 119
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kris Abrams-Draine well ahead of where he belonged. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 128
Cole Bishop at pick No. 94 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 126
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 98 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · James Williams · S · rank 129
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 127
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
They paid up for Braelon Allen at No. 135 when waiting would have done the job. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 132
Somehow Cam Hart was still sitting there in the 161st overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 173
By-the-book stuff, Jaylan Ford at the 171st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R5.39 · Pick 175 · Braiden McGregor · DL-EDGE · rank 198
Braiden McGregor in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
