Green Bay Packers

The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the D+.

Some picks age like wine; Carson Steele at No. 203 will need to, sitting 79 spots clear of his grade.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Castles value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 29
In pick No. 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 47
Patrick Paul slid further than he should have, and the 56th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 69
Ricky Pearsall at No. 57 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 82
Josh Newton in the 63rd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 88
Michael Hall Jr. at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at No. 94, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 122
A wild overpay on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 98th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cole Bishop at safety with quarterback open.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 129
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in slot 126. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 139
Cam Hart in the 131st pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 134
Will Shipley at pick 134 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 178
The board had cheaper options than Brandon Coleman at Round 5, Pick 28, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 156
A slide stopped in pick No. 168, with McCallan Castles worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 282
Value said wait; Carson Steele in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
