Green Bay Packers

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Johnson: B-.

Call it larceny. Cornelius Johnson sat on the board until pick 238, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They are betting Crum proves the room right and everyone else wrong. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
No drama and no debate, Cooper Beebe went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 9. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in the 88th pick, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
A big swing on Javon Foster at the Round 3 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Mason McCormick at the 126th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 177
They liked Khristian Boyd enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 169. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 221
Jordan Magee in pick 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Trevin Wallace in pick No. 219 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.17 · Pick 237 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
Kimani Vidal at No. 237 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.18 · Pick 238 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 186
A wide receiver of that caliber at slot 238 is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Frank Crum · OT · rank 294
They reached into another round for Frank Crum, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
A reach for Trey Taylor in the 256th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 258
Ryan Watts in the 257th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
