Green Bay Packers

A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

You can usually follow a front office's logic. This one is harder. The Packers spent pick No. 111 on Jaden Hicks while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat unaddressed. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Spann-Ford reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 50
They liked Patrick Paul enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 39. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 47
Chris Braswell in the 43rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Rod Moore · S · rank 81
Rod Moore in pick 75 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · TreVeyon Henderson · RB · rank 84
TreVeyon Henderson at slot 82 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 126
A want over a need in pick No. 111: Jaden Hicks adds a safety while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots keeps waiting.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jason Marshall Jr. · CB · rank 148
Jason Marshall Jr. in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 205
A conviction pick on Brevyn Spann-Ford at Round 6, Pick 14 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 227
Omar Speights in the 217th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Francisco Mauigoa · LB · rank 224
They took Francisco Mauigoa at par in slot 219, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Joshua Gray · OT · rank 238
No edge and no loss on Joshua Gray in pick 232; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
