Green Bay Packers

The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: McKade Mettauer, 54 picks early at pick No. 251.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In No. 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at slot 41 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A clean, defensible pick in pick 57 with a little surplus value in Jackson Powers-Johnson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They took Khyree Jackson at par in pick No. 105, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
They talked themselves into Jaylen Wright at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 140
A straight-up fair deal on Kamal Hadden at pick 137, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 170
No edge and no loss on Kitan Oladapo in the 168th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
Christian Jones slipping to pick No. 216 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at Round 7, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · McKade Mettauer · OG · rank 305
McKade Mettauer at No. 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
