Green Bay Packers

The Coleman reach set a tone the Packers could not shake: F.

Nobody had Brandon Coleman this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 41 spots to get him at pick No. 131. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Morgan pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In slot 25 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at pick No. 41. It fills a real need, too.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
They went early on Johnny Wilson in No. 64, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
They talked themselves into Cole Bishop at Round 3, Pick 28, and the board did not agree. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kris Abrams-Draine this early at the 94th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
A premium they did not need to pay, Max Melton a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Javon Foster well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
The board had cheaper options than Will Shipley at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 172
A real head-scratcher, Brandon Coleman in No. 131 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
They reached a country mile for Braelon Allen at the 132nd pick, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
Ben Sinnott at the 134th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 154
They reached into another round for Keith Randolph Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 195
This one needs a full-page explanation: JD Bertrand in slot 169, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
