Green Bay Packers

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 13 regardless, 70 picks early. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Getting Davis where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will answer for taking linebacker early while wide receiver and interior defensive lineman went begging.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Fair-plus on Jordan Morgan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 42 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Jaden Hicks in the 58th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 114
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cedric Gray at linebacker with wide receiver and interior defensive lineman open.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 90th pick on Cole Bishop with wide receiver and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 116
A real head-scratcher, Elijah Jones in No. 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tip Reiman · TE · rank 182
Tip Reiman at pick No. 126 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
You do not let a running back like Ray Davis reach the 127th pick and blink. They did not. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in pick 138, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 190
Johnny Dixon at slot 169 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
Sam Hartman at the Round 6 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 217
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 202nd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Marcellas Dial · CB · rank 243
Value said wait; Marcellas Dial in Round 6, Pick 44 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell at No. 245 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kimani Vidal. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
