The Packers let Barton fall into their laps, and walked away with a D-.

Nobody else had Thor Griffith anywhere near the 196th overall pick. The Packers did, by 87 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

Barton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Shavon Revel Jr. · CB · rank 27
Shavon Revel Jr. in the Round 1 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.22 · Pick 54 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 62
Denzel Burke in the 54th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Jalen Royals · WR · rank 66
They paid up for Jalen Royals at slot 56 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Jordan Burch · DE-EDGE · rank 109
Jordan Burch at pick No. 62 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Danny Stutsman · LB · rank 84
A tidy bit of business in No. 98, where Danny Stutsman graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.13 · Pick 114 · Billy Bowman Jr. · S · rank 112
Billy Bowman Jr. at slot 114 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.21 · Pick 122 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 151
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at pick No. 122, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
R5.21 · Pick 158 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 225
Davison Igbinosun at pick 158 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.21 · Pick 196 · Thor Griffith · DL · rank 283
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the 196th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.21 · Pick 237 · Lander Barton · LB · rank 128
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Lander Barton in the 237th overall pick, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.34 · Pick 250 · Mitchell Evans · TE · rank 322
A wild overpay on Mitchell Evans in Round 7, Pick 34, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
