B
Green Bay Packers
Nobody dealt better than the Packers this weekend: B.
by Shaner04 ·
2024 NFL Draft
· 12 picks
· 5 steals
· 5 reaches
They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Kedon Slovis, 60 picks early at the 245th overall pick.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Chambers.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get juice off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They paid sticker price for Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaden Hicks. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick No. 58, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A real head-scratcher, Sataoa Laumea in pick 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
MarShawn Lloyd slid further than he should have, and No. 106 is lovely value for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Tip Reiman in Round 5, Pick 10 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Julian Pearl well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Johnny Dixon at the 202nd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Steele Chambers in the 219th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
A big swing on Kedon Slovis at No. 245, well ahead of any board in the building. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Josh Proctor at pick 255 is the proof. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
