Green Bay Packers

The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Future B-

The Packers bet big and early on Sam Hartman, 34 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Means.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, tight end very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
A straight-up fair deal on Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
By-the-book stuff, Patrick Paul at pick No. 67 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Max Melton · CB · rank 77
They jumped the gun on Max Melton, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 25 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
A reach on Zak Zinter in the 91st pick; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
Fair-plus on Braelon Allen, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
Justin Eboigbe in No. 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
They took Jarrian Jones at par in pick 132, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 189
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 209
Jaylen Harrell at slot 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 234
A premium they did not need to pay, Trevin Wallace a notch or two before his time. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 259
They talked themselves into Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Taylor this early at Round 7, Pick 25. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 246
Bub Means is a better player than slot 255 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
