Green Bay Packers

Green should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B+.

Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Jalen Green, the No. 218 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The cost of the Spann-Ford reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
Jordan Morgan at slot 44 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 56
By-the-book stuff, Chris Braswell at the 57th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 63
Javon Bullard at pick 64 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 79
They let Roman Wilson come to them and pounced at No. 88. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 88
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 30 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 120
A reasonable price with a little left over, Darius Robinson in pick No. 126. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
Somehow MarShawn Lloyd was still sitting there in the 158th pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 157
Braelon Allen in No. 164 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 168
Kitan Oladapo at the 168th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 230
Brevyn Spann-Ford at the 203rd pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 214
No edge and no loss on Jawhar Jordan in Round 6, Pick 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 241
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Taylor a notch or two before his time. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jeremy James · OT · rank 265
A wild overpay on Jeremy James in pick 243, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Jalen Green · S · rank 218
Jalen Green in pick No. 251 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
