Green Bay Packers

The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Christian Jones, 50 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In the 27th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens at the 41st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 55
They paid sticker price for Ja'Lynn Polk in No. 57, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Darius Robinson. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in pick No. 91. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
No drama and no debate, Max Melton went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 146
Dylan Laube in slot 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
Braelon Allen at the 135th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
A real head-scratcher, Christian Jones in the Round 5 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 207
Gabe Hall at No. 203 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 217, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
Matthew Jones at the 219th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
A reach on Tatum Bethune in pick 246; the board had better options right there. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
