Green Bay Packers

Johnson should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dillon Johnson fell into the 204th pick. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 14
In No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in the 41st overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 50
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Adisa Isaac at pick No. 58. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
Circle this one: Patrick Paul at the 88th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 93
They took Javon Baker at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 124
Fair-plus on Cedric Gray, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 161
They did well to land Trevor Keegan in Round 5, Pick 32, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 169
Taking Dillon Johnson in slot 204 is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
You do not let a cornerback like Elijah Jones reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 227
Javontae Jean-Baptiste is a better player than slot 243 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Evan Williams · S · rank 243
A tidy bit of business in the 251st overall pick, where Evan Williams graded well above the range. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
