Green Bay Packers

More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it.

Future B-

Everything else got attention, and running back got none. That is a strange way for the Packers to leave a draft. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Turner. The cost of the Green reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but running back.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In slot 25 they get a premier pass rusher, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 36
A tidy little value on Emeka Egbuka in the 42nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 82
Nothing to complain about; Cooper Beebe went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 94
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 29 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 111
Khyree Jackson at pick No. 108 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 126
No drama and no debate, Kris Abrams-Draine went about where he belonged in pick 125. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 137
Cedric Gray in No. 135 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 169
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chau Smith-Wade at pick 179. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Aki Ogunbiyi · OG · rank 205
No edge and no loss on Aki Ogunbiyi in the 203rd pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jalen Green · S · rank 234
Jalen Green in slot 217 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 213
Christian Jones at pick No. 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 249
A straight-up fair deal on Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 246, value and slot in agreement. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
