Green Bay Packers

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

The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Elijah Jones, the No. 193 name on the board, in pick 251.

The Hartman pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Spending an early pick on TE-EDGE with wide receiver, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 13
In the 25th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
Tyler Nubin at Round 2, Pick 15 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 53
Good price on Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 82
A curious use of pick 88. Wide receiver, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 94
A straight-up fair deal on Trey Benson at slot 91, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 124
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending No. 127 on Cedric Gray with wide receiver, tight end and other spots unsolved.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 149
They went early on Justin Eboigbe in pick No. 140, and the value did not follow. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 171
No drama and no debate, Walter Rouse went about where he belonged in the 168th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 216
They paid up for Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 204 when waiting would have done the job. It fills a real need, too.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 174
Dwight McGlothern at the 216th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 282
Sam Hartman at the 243rd overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
You do not let a cornerback like Elijah Jones reach No. 251 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
