Green Bay Packers

The Packers bled value on every deal, hence the D-.

Every swap seemed to tilt away from the Packers, and the value they bled adds up to real damage.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Wright pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Beebe.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.13 · Pick 13 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In pick No. 13 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 36
Good price on Xavier Legette in slot 41, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 64
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Bullard. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
Cooper Beebe is a better player than pick 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at the 91st pick, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
Nothing to complain about; Jarrian Jones went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They went early on Jaylen Wright in the Round 5 slot, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 163
LaDarius Henderson in No. 168 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 202
Jordan Magee in Round 6, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
J.J. Weaver at slot 216 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in No. 243; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
Tatum Bethune at the 251st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
