Green Bay Packers

The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Knox: B+.

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

However the rest shakes out, Knox at that price is a win they earned. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Hall Jr. pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
They let Graham Barton come to them and pounced at slot 41. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edgerrin Cooper in No. 60. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 29 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
A premium they did not need to pay, Michael Hall Jr. a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni in pick No. 79 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It fills a real need, too.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
A reach for Cole Bishop in pick 93; a little patience would have been rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the 113th pick on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson at pick No. 121 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
They paid up for Kitan Oladapo at No. 139 when waiting would have done the job. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 223
Trey Knox at slot 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 269
Trey Taylor at Round 7, Pick 35 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
