Green Bay Packers

A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Packers bet big and early on Kalen King, 48 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Watson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Graham Barton in No. 41. It fills a real need, too.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Kiran Amegadjie at pick 88 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Kalen King · CB · rank 139
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kalen King well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 158
Sione Vaki in slot 126 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 169
Javion Cohen at the 169th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
Somehow Trente Jones was still sitting there in the 219th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Nathaniel Watson in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 229
You do not let an offensive lineman like Nathan Thomas reach pick No. 255 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
