B
Green Bay Packers
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.
by JJ3325 ·
2024 NFL Draft
· 13 picks
· 3 steals
· 5 reaches
There is reaching, and then there is Evan Williams at pick 246. The Packers jumped the board by 36 and dared it to prove them wrong.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Irving steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
They let Nate Wiggins come to them and pounced at the 25th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Calen Bullock. It adds depth where they could use a little.
T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 25 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in No. 88. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Nice patience on Malachi Corley, who had no business lasting to pick 91. A need, and now a little less of one.
A slide stopped in the 108th pick, with Bucky Irving worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They went early on Cedric Gray in No. 125, and the value did not follow. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Wright. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Kitan Oladapo at Round 5, Pick 32 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Fair-plus on Christian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board had cheaper options than J.J. Weaver at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A big swing on Nathaniel Watson at the 219th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Value said wait; Evan Williams in pick 246 says they were not listening. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
