Green Bay Packers

A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Nadame Tucker a full 52 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They banked enough surplus on Lance to cover a lot of smaller sins. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Quantity was the play, for better or worse.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick-by-Pick

R3.20 · Pick 84 · Brian Parker II · OT · rank 105
Brian Parker II at slot 84 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 92 · Daylen Everette · CB · rank 81
Daylen Everette at pick No. 92 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Gracen Halton · DL · rank 125
A premium they did not need to pay, Gracen Halton a notch or two before his time. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Kaleb Proctor · DL · rank 134
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kaleb Proctor in the 110th overall pick, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 90
Bryce Lance in pick 111 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Eli Raridon · TE · rank 135
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Eli Raridon well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Nadame Tucker · DE-EDGE · rank 172
They talked themselves into Nadame Tucker at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.20 · Pick 160 · Kaleb Elarms-Orr · LB · rank 176
A reach on Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the 160th pick; the board had better options right there. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.18 · Pick 199 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 196
Cole Payton at No. 199 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.20 · Pick 201 · Kaelon Black · RB · rank 215
Kaelon Black in pick 201 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.20 · Pick 236 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 220
TJ Hall slid further than he should have, and the 236th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.39 · Pick 255 · Riley Mahlman · OT · rank 292
Riley Mahlman at pick No. 255 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
