Green Bay Packers

Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Khalid Duke. He came off 158 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

Landing Bullard that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The Jadeveon Clowney pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.

In the end, a coin-flip class: fine today, with a wide range of outcomes ahead.

Pick-by-Pick

R3.15 · Pick 79 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
Javon Bullard slid further than he should have, and No. 79 is lovely value for the safety. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
A tidy bit of business in Round 3, Pick 28, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javon Foster in the 93rd overall pick, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · DJ James · CB · rank 113
A slide stopped in slot 125, with DJ James worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tommy Eichenberg in the 135th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 166
Kitan Oladapo at slot 158 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Aaron Lewis · DL-EDGE · rank 298
Value said wait; Aaron Lewis in the 203rd overall pick says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Rondell Bothroyd · DL-EDGE · rank 286
A big swing on Rondell Bothroyd at Round 6, Pick 42, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Clark Barrington · C · rank 375
A real head-scratcher, Clark Barrington in the 219th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.17 · Pick 237 · Baylor Cupp · TE · rank 376
Baylor Cupp at pick 237 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Jaden Shirden · RB · rank 306
They reached a country mile for Jaden Shirden at No. 246, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Khalid Duke · DE-EDGE · rank 408
A wild overpay on Khalid Duke in pick No. 250, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
