Green Bay Packers

The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the C-.

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Kingsley Eguakun at slot 255 is 44 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Rice pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
Amarius Mims in pick No. 25 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R1.30 · Pick 30 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 23
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the 77th overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Fair-plus on Blake Corum, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 110
Leonard Taylor III at Round 4, Pick 7 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Steal is underselling it; Brenden Rice at the 117th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 165
Nelson Ceaser at pick 141 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.26 · Pick 162 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 162, well ahead of any board in the building. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
A tidy little value on Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 27, a step better than break-even. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 235
Michael Barrett at slot 219 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
A reasonable price with a little left over, JD Bertrand in the 226th overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Sundell. It fills a real need, too.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kingsley Eguakun · C · rank 299
They reached into another round for Kingsley Eguakun, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
