Green Bay Packers

The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

Future B-

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Dwight McGlothern at the 217th overall pick is 40 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Wilson falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at slot 41, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
Javon Bullard at Round 2, Pick 25 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
Steal is underselling it; Payton Wilson at pick 88 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the 91st pick on Tykee Smith, a safety they were not short of.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson in No. 112 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in the 125th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Cedric Gray in pick 135 leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots for later.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
By-the-book stuff, Jawhar Jordan at Round 6, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
They talked themselves into Matthew Jones at pick No. 219, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 258
A premium they did not need to pay, Walter Rouse a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
