Green Bay Packers

The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Smith-Wade: D-.

The Packers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

They will need Smith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Smith-Wade steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In pick No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
In the Round 1 slot they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Amarius Mims at slot 40 is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at Round 2, Pick 9, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
By-the-book stuff, Christian Haynes at No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Maason Smith well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 127
A cornerback of that caliber at the 169th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
Taking Jha'Quan Jackson in slot 202 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
They paid sticker price for Jordan Magee in the 219th pick, and that is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
No drama and no debate, Josh Proctor went about where he belonged in pick 245. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 242
A tidy bit of business in Round 7, Pick 35, where KT Leveston graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
