Green Bay Packers

Nothing loud, just a tidy B for the Packers.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Cedric Gray a full 45 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

Boyd falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The Gray pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
No edge and no loss on Graham Barton in the 44th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 85
They reached a country mile for Caelen Carson at Round 2, Pick 25, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 98
Mason McCormick at pick No. 77 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at the Round 3 slot, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 136
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 91 on Cedric Gray with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 138
A big swing on Sione Vaki at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 169
A swing that ignored the value entirely, LaDarius Henderson well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
A tidy little value on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in Round 5, Pick 32, a step better than break-even. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 161
The board fumbled Khristian Boyd all the way to slot 190, and they scooped it up. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 207
Rasheen Ali in pick 203 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 193
Taking Daijahn Anthony in the 216th overall pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 243
A straight-up fair deal on Blake Watson at No. 243, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 240
A quiet steal in the 251st pick: Myles Harden for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
