Green Bay Packers

The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Clark: D-.

by GSD3 · 2024 NFL Draft · 14 picks · 2 steals · 8 reaches
Value C+
Need B

Future B-

The trade table was where it all came apart. The Packers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

Reaching for Wright left real value on the table behind him. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The Clark pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
In the 27th overall pick they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
They liked Jackson Powers-Johnson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 2, Pick 9. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 56
Chris Braswell in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 97
A reach for Audric Estime in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 101
The board had cheaper options than Dominick Puni at pick No. 91, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 134
Cedric Gray in Round 4, Pick 26 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 161
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 166
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chau Smith-Wade this early at pick No. 144. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 168
A straight-up fair deal on Kitan Oladapo at the 168th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 213
A conviction pick on Gabe Hall at No. 203 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 203
The board had Christian Jones higher than slot 216, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 207
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick 243 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 269
A real head-scratcher, Dwight McGlothern in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
