Green Bay Packers

The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the C.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Javon Foster, 30 picks early at Round 3, Pick 35.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

That Morgan pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

If Jared Verse and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In the Round 1 slot they get a double-digit-sack hope, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at No. 41. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 79
Malachi Corley in slot 64 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in pick 91, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
McKinnley Jackson at the 93rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They liked Khyree Jackson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 95. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
Javon Foster in the 98th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
Cole Bishop at No. 125 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 128th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
A straight-up fair deal on Will Shipley at pick 130, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Tommy Eichenberg in the Round 4 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
Braelon Allen at pick No. 135 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 172
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brandon Coleman. A need, and now a little less of one.
