Green Bay Packers

The Packers let Hadden fall into their laps, and walked away with a B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Kamal Hadden, the Round 6 slot, roughly 51 picks past where he belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Ezirim pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 21
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. It fills a real need, too.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
They did well to land Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 91st overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
They paid up for Cedric Gray at No. 105 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
Ray Davis in slot 110 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 100
Taking Cam Hart in pick No. 126 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 173
Jordan Travis at pick 169 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 201
Joe Milton III in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 168
Circle this one: Kamal Hadden at pick No. 219 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 206
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach Round 7, Pick 5 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
They reached a country mile for Trey Taylor at slot 245, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Nick Gargiulo · C · rank 280
A big swing on Nick Gargiulo at the 253rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Josiah Ezirim · OL · rank 292
Josiah Ezirim at pick 255 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 234
Somehow Trevin Wallace was still sitting there in the 256th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Omar Brown · S · rank 285
Omar Brown in No. 257 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
