Green Bay Packers

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

Some picks age like wine; Garret Greenfield at pick No. 169 will need to, sitting 47 spots clear of his grade. Too much went sideways, and the D- is the honest tally.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Ulofoshio pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 19
In No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 33
They let Troy Franklin come to them and pounced at the Round 2 slot. It fills a real need, too.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 40
Kamari Lassiter in the 47th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
Payton Wilson at slot 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 89
Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Renardo Green · S · rank 87
Nothing to complain about; Renardo Green went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 126, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A reach on Nathaniel Watson in pick 202; the board had better options right there. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
A tidy little value on Caedan Wallace in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · C.J. Hanson · OG · rank 264
A swing that ignored the value entirely, C.J. Hanson well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
A premium they did not need to pay, Sam Hartman a notch or two before his time. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
They robbed the room for Edefuan Ulofoshio here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
