Green Bay Packers

The phones sank the Packers this weekend: C.

Future C+

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Packers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A mixed bag that lands at C.

If Shipley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Taylor-Demerson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If Jackson Powers-Johnson and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 30
In No. 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 62
Jaden Hicks in Round 2, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 65
They took Cooper Beebe at par in the 66th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 85
A reach for Patrick Paul in slot 71; a little patience would have been rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 117
A big swing on Will Shipley at the 90th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 80
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 110
DeWayne Carter at pick No. 104 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 115
Nothing to complain about; Cam Hart went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 131
They paid sticker price for Javon Foster in pick 126, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 148
Anthony Gould at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.9 · Pick 145 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 146
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 9. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 223
A straight-up fair deal on JD Bertrand at No. 219, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
