Green Bay Packers

More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Taylor at No. 202 regardless, 67 picks early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Puni.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In the 30th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick 43 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
Fair-plus on Braden Fiske, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 9 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
They took Trey Benson at par in No. 80, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
Cole Bishop at pick No. 93 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni slid further than he should have, and the 97th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
Elijah Jones in pick No. 115 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in slot 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 269
Trey Taylor in pick 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 223
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Knox. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 242
KT Leveston in the 245th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trajan Jeffcoat · DL-EDGE · rank 308
Trajan Jeffcoat at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
