Green Bay Packers

A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The needs board said one thing and the Packers did another, using No. 126 on Cedric Gray while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots waited. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Gray value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 48
Jonathon Brooks is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
Michael Hall Jr. in the 88th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Jaden Hicks in pick 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
A curious use of No. 126. Edge rusher, cornerback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Cedric Gray did not.
