jbomb DRAFTING FOR THEPackers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B-
ValueC+
NeedB-
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Packers kept it disciplined and banked a B-. The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Jacob Rodriguez at the 120th pick regardless, 48 picks early.
They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick52
Rnd2
Dillon Thieneman
Nothing to complain about; Dillon Thieneman went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick84
Rnd3
Julian Neal
A reasonable price with a little left over, Julian Neal in the 84th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
A real head-scratcher, Jacob Rodriguez in the 120th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick158
Rnd5
Aaron Graves
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Aaron Graves well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick201
Rnd6
Kobe Baynes
Fair-plus on Kobe Baynes, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick236
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
By-the-book stuff, Bryce Foster at Round 7, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Brett Norfleet
A premium they did not need to pay, Brett Norfleet a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick257
Rnd7
Lawson Luckie
Lawson Luckie at No. 257 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
