A war room that did its homework. Packers: A-.

2024 NFL Draft

· 2 reaches
The one they had to fix is still broken. The Packers left quarterback untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. Just about everything broke right, and the A- follows.
Reaching for Allen left real value on the table behind him. The Bishop pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
They paid up for Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 9 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They went early on Braelon Allen in No. 88, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Tykee Smith in the 92nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in pick No. 125, a genuine coup. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They paid sticker price for Shemar Turner in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A quiet steal in pick 162: Cole Bishop for less than the market said. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
De'Corian Clark slipping to the 203rd pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Roger Rosengarten at pick 212. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
