Green Bay Packers

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

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Eric Watts at the 202nd pick regardless, 37 picks early.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 22
Nothing to complain about; Brian Thomas Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 36
Darius Robinson at pick No. 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 61
A straight-up fair deal on Ruke Orhorhoro at pick 58, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in Round 3, Pick 25, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 119
They reached into another round for Cedric Gray, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 91
A quiet steal in slot 99: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 131
Javon Foster at slot 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 126
They took Tyrone Tracy Jr. at par in pick 128, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · James Williams · LB · rank 173
James Williams in the 169th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.21 · Pick 196 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 216
Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 21 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 239
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eric Watts well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 230
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 219. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
