Green Bay Packers

The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Gould: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Anthony Gould, the 219th pick, roughly 77 picks past where he belonged.

Reaching for Slovis left real value on the table behind him. It is not that Hicks is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

Leaving running back unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at the 41st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
They let Chris Braswell come to them and pounced at the 58th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
A reasonable price with a little left over, Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Max Melton slipping to slot 91 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Jaden Hicks while clear needs at running back and tight end sat open.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
James Williams in pick 125 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
They took Johnny Wilson at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.36 · Pick 136 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 94
Steal is underselling it; Caelen Carson at pick No. 136 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
Trevor Keegan in the 169th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 150
They robbed the room for Tyrone Tracy Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.32 · Pick 207 · Justin Rogers · DL · rank 193
A quiet steal in pick No. 207: Justin Rogers for less than the market said. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
Circle this one: Anthony Gould at No. 219 is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 199
Steele Chambers in pick 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 304
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kedon Slovis in the 255th overall pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
