The Packers jumped the board for Foster and paid for it: F.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Javon Foster at No. 98 regardless, 30 picks early. Little went right, and the F does not pretend otherwise.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

In the end, a class that has to defy its grades just to matter.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 30
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 37
Good price on Kamren Kinchens in the 41st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
Trey Benson at pick 63 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
A conviction pick on Johnny Wilson at Round 2, Pick 32 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in pick No. 88, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
By-the-book stuff, DeWayne Carter at slot 94 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 104
The board had cheaper options than Marshawn Kneeland at the 95th pick, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
A wild overpay on Javon Foster in pick 98, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
A want over a need in pick No. 132: Cole Bishop adds a safety while quarterback keeps waiting.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 144
A premium they did not need to pay, Beaux Limmer a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
They liked Ben Sinnott enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 135. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 195
JD Bertrand in the Round 5 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
