Green Bay Packers

The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

The Packers lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If Nugent pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

They banked enough surplus on Oladapo to cover a lot of smaller sins.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.8 · Pick 8 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
In pick No. 8 they get a go-to option on the outside. A real need, handled.
R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
No edge and no loss on Cooper DeJean in the Round 1 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They took Payton Wilson at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Renardo Green · S · rank 78
Renardo Green slid further than he should have, and No. 88 is lovely value for the safety. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
A reach on Braelon Allen in slot 91; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 26, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kitan Oladapo in pick 169. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 210
They reached into another round for Drake Nugent, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A reach for Nathaniel Watson in the 197th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 189
Tahj Washington is a better player than pick No. 202 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at the Round 6 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
Josh Proctor in Round 7, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at the 255th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
