Green Bay Packers

Nothing loud, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Kedon Slovis, 58 picks ahead of schedule.

Means falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on safety with tight end and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in pick 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 62
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at Round 2, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and interior defensive lineman to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · DJ James · CB · rank 93
DJ James at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 109
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zak Zinter. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 138
A conviction pick on Isaac Guerendo at slot 126 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 157
This one needs a full-page explanation: Myles Cole in Round 4, Pick 29, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · James Williams · LB · rank 173
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in No. 167. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 167
Walter Rouse in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 210
Kimani Vidal in the 202nd overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 239
A real head-scratcher, Eric Watts in the 219th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 303
Kedon Slovis at pick No. 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 228
They will replay Bub Means at pick 255 for years; that is how good the value is. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
