The Packers reached for Washington and never recovered. Grade: F.

The Packers did not so much draft Tahj Washington as overpay for him, 158 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. It is not that Gray is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.

There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.17 · Pick 17 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 15
No drama and no debate, Nate Wiggins went about where he belonged in the 17th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R1.25 · Pick 25 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
In slot 25 they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
Calen Bullock in pick No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · D.J. James · CB · rank 62
By-the-book stuff, D.J. James at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 75
Junior Colson at the 78th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 85
Gabriel Murphy at No. 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 89
A straight-up fair deal on Michael Hall Jr. at No. 91, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
Tyler Davis in pick 96 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.18 · Pick 118 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 119
They took Malik Washington at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cedric Gray adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback and tight end untouched.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
A big swing on Braelon Allen at pick No. 135, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 361
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tahj Washington. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 217
Jase McClellan at the 217th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 223
No edge and no loss on Darius Muasau in slot 219; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 260
They liked Chad Lindberg enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 246. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
