Green Bay Packers

The Packers got the worse of every deal, and it shows in the C.

There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Braelon Allen, 44 picks ahead of schedule. It nets out a thoroughly average C.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on DT-EDGE is the choice that costs them.

Landing Liufau that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 38
In No. 28 they get a potential shutdown corner, though they paid up to get him. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at the 35th pick, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 57
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 70
A reach on Trey Benson in pick 60; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
Johnny Wilson at the 72nd overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Maason Smith at DT-EDGE with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Marist Liufau adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots untouched.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
A reach for Darius Robinson in slot 104; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Braelon Allen well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 129
Cole Bishop at Round 4, Pick 19 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · James Williams · S · rank 134
A curious use of pick No. 120. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a safety in James Williams did not.
