Green Bay Packers

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

Future B-

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Frank Gore Jr. at slot 217 is 43 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Alexander. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at the 42nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 53
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick No. 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 62
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Denzel Burke at the 73rd pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 84
Marist Liufau in pick 82 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 128
They reached into another round for Jaden Hicks, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 126
They liked Gabriel Murphy enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 110. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Devin Neal · RB · rank 156
Devin Neal in the 135th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Zy Alexander · CB · rank 167
Zy Alexander in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 202
Brandon Coleman at pick 188 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 260
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Joshua Gray · OT · rank 244
A wild overpay on Joshua Gray in the 219th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 223
Nelson Ceaser at No. 230 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
