Green Bay Packers

The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for McCallan Castles, 123 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. A mixed bag that lands at C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Fashanu pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Packers indulged a want in Taylor-Demerson while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line, outstanding value to boot.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
Tyler Nubin in the 41st pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 70
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Wright in the 63rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 100
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 88
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 106
A want over a need in slot 94: Cole Bishop adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 120
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 122
Josh Newton in pick 126 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Tommy Eichenberg in No. 131 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 171
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at the 169th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 221
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 342
A real head-scratcher, McCallan Castles in pick No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Austin Stogner · TE · rank 348
Austin Stogner at Round 7, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 326
They reached into another round for Carson Steele, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
