Green Bay Packers

The Packers robbed the room for Berger. Final grade: B-.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Packers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value.

Getting Berger where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The cost of the Benson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In the 25th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a two-high chess piece at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Fair-plus on Chop Robinson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 70
They went early on Trey Benson in No. 62, and the value did not follow. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
Zak Zinter at pick 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 138
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamal Hadden. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.7 · Pick 227 · Jalen Berger · RB · rank 206
Jalen Berger in slot 227 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 226
They barely believed it either: Blake Watson still on the board at the 246th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matthew Jones at pick 251 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
