Green Bay Packers

A costly weekend of dealing drags the Packers to a D-.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Kedon Slovis at Round 7, Pick 25 regardless, 60 picks early. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
Brian Thomas Jr. at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
They reached a country mile for Max Melton at pick No. 58, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 70 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Calen Bullock. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
A reach for Zak Zinter in the 91st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 148
They left a pile of value on the table to take Justin Eboigbe this early at the Round 4 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 132
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at No. 131, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 211
The board had cheaper options than Drake Nugent at pick 202, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.36 · Pick 211 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
They reached into another round for Kimani Vidal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 305
Value said wait; Kedon Slovis in the 245th overall pick says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 257
Tyrice Knight in Round 7, Pick 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
