Green Bay Packers

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Decamerion Richardson at pick No. 255, a reach of 61 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
No drama and no debate, Amarius Mims went about where he belonged in the 25th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 24
In No. 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 48
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jonathon Brooks at the 63rd pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 25. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 124; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
Roger Rosengarten in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in the 131st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 186
They went early on Tanor Bortolini in slot 169, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III in pick No. 186 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford in No. 202 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 213
Drake Nugent at pick 219 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 262
Trey Taylor at the 245th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Decamerion Richardson · CB · rank 316
They reached a country mile for Decamerion Richardson at Round 7, Pick 35, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
