Green Bay Packers

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

The Packers bet big and early on Braiden McGregor, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback went begging.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Fair-plus on Bralen Trice, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
A reach on Johnny Wilson in the 63rd pick; the board had better options right there. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
They paid up for Trey Benson at pick No. 64 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in No. 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
Tyler Davis in Round 3, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
They liked Max Melton enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 3, Pick 32. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
A wild overpay on Javon Foster in No. 98, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
They did well to land Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 125, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cole Bishop. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
Will Shipley at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
Ben Sinnott at pick 134 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · James Williams · S · rank 134
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Braiden McGregor · DL-EDGE · rank 203
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braiden McGregor in the 169th pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
