Green Bay Packers

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

The Packers spent real capital to be 35 picks early on Kenny Logan Jr., and the board is going to hold them to it.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Walker at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 26
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
In pick No. 32 they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. More want than need.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 9, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 64
Devontez Walker in pick 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
Trey Benson at No. 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 126
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 125
They took Josh Newton at par in No. 127, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 164
Isaiah Davis in Round 5, Pick 32 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
By-the-book stuff, Elijah Jones at pick 187 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 206
Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 204 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 251
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kenny Logan Jr.. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 244
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in pick No. 243. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 228
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Owens at the 251st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
