Green Bay Packers

Watts should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

Thirty-one other rooms let Ryan Watts slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at No. 251. Highway robbery. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Stover pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, tight end and other spots still on the board. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 53
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kingsley Suamataia in pick No. 57. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 67
They will replay Brenden Rice at pick 88 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 93
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 28. Quarterback, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a TE-EDGE in Cade Stover did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Good price on Darius Robinson in the 126th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
Braelon Allen slid further than he should have, and slot 168 is lovely value for the running back. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 189
Michael Barrett at No. 203 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 219
Jawhar Jordan in the 216th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 225
They robbed the room for Ryan Watts here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Mark Perry · S · rank 263
Mark Perry at pick 257 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
