Green Bay Packers

The Packers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story.

There is reaching, and then there is Christian Jones at slot 125. The Packers jumped the board by 72 and dared it to prove them wrong.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

The DeJean pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

So much rides on Cooper DeJean that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In pick 25 they get an island corner, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Quinyon Mitchell graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
They talked themselves into Darius Robinson at slot 88, and the board did not agree. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at pick No. 94, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
Fair-plus on Zak Zinter, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
No drama and no debate, Cedric Gray went about where he belonged in slot 135. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
A reach for Braelon Allen in No. 147; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.39 · Pick 175 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 207
They left a pile of value on the table to take Gabe Hall this early at Round 5, Pick 39. The roster fit checks out.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 203, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.32 · Pick 207 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
They took Kenny Logan Jr. at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
J.J. Weaver at pick 209 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
They reached a country mile for Matthew Jones at the 217th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
Tatum Bethune at No. 219 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 248
No edge and no loss on Donovan Jennings in the 246th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
