Green Bay Packers

The Packers lost the trade table, and the D- tells the story.

Future B-

Somebody took the Packers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. A D- that will need time and luck to look better.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on linebacker is the choice that costs them.

Reaching for Jones left real value on the table behind him. The Odunze steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and quarterback is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 40
Kamari Lassiter is a better player than pick 51 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 50
Nothing to complain about; Junior Colson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 63
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
A want over a need in slot 59: Jeremiah Trotter Jr. adds a linebacker while quarterback, tight end and other spots keeps waiting.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Benson a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 89
A straight-up fair deal on Jonah Elliss at the 88th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 83
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson slid further than he should have, and the 91st pick is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending pick No. 98 on Cole Bishop with quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 121
Javon Foster at pick 125 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 126
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cedric Gray adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots untouched.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
Jarrian Jones at the 132nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 153
Malik Mustapha slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.40 · Pick 215 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 205
A quiet steal in No. 215: Daijun Edwards for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.16 · Pick 236 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 226
Nice patience on Rasheen Ali, who had no business lasting to Round 7, Pick 16. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
