Green Bay Packers

There is reaching, and then there is Trey Taylor at No. 219. The Packers jumped the board by 48 and dared it to prove them wrong. It holds up to a second look, which is why it earns the A-.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

Bottom line, with Darius Robinson leading the way, this is a class that should pay off fast and rarely be regretted.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
They took Darius Robinson at par in pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Javon Bullard is a better player than No. 58 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
Value with a capital V on Mike Sainristil in pick No. 88, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
They left a pile of value on the table to take Javon Foster this early at slot 91. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
They paid sticker price for Beaux Limmer in Round 4, Pick 26, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones at the 169th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
A straight-up fair deal on Joe Milton III at the 202nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
Trey Taylor at slot 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell in the 245th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 254
Miyan Williams at pick 255 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
