Green Bay Packers

The Packers did enough to get by: C+.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Cade Klubnik, 44 picks ahead of schedule. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. On value alone, Wetjen makes the weekend a net positive.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.22 · Pick 54 · Gennings Dunker · OG · rank 51
A clean, defensible pick in slot 54 with a little surplus value in Gennings Dunker. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 83
Daylen Everette at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.34 · Pick 98 · Cade Klubnik · QB · rank 142
A big swing on Cade Klubnik at pick No. 98, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Trey Zuhn III · C · rank 127
They liked Trey Zuhn III enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 114. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 138
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.37 · Pick 137 · Demond Claiborne · RB · rank 163
They reached into another round for Demond Claiborne, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.13 · Pick 153 · Nate Boerkircher · TE · rank 162
Nate Boerkircher in slot 153 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.20 · Pick 160 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 178
They talked themselves into Domani Jackson at the 160th overall pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.38 · Pick 178 · VJ Payne · S · rank 198
A wild overpay on VJ Payne in No. 178, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.20 · Pick 201 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 230
Robert Spears-Jennings in Round 6, Pick 20 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.20 · Pick 236 · Kaden Wetjen · WR · rank 224
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kaden Wetjen at pick 236 is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.39 · Pick 255 · Riley Mahlman · OT · rank 293
They left a pile of value on the table to take Riley Mahlman this early at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
