The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jalen Green, Round 7, Pick 11, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

The Packers indulged a want in Smith while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will need Simon to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
In the Round 1 slot they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 23, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in the 57th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
They robbed the room for Javon Bullard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 88th overall pick on Maason Smith with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 104
They went early on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 91, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 121
A clean, defensible pick in slot 125 with a little surplus value in Jarrian Jones. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 126
Javon Foster slid further than he should have, and No. 135 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 147
They read the board right and Jaylin Simpson was the payoff at No. 159. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 206
Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 203 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 210
Fair-plus on Isaiah Neyor, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
Value with a capital V on Jawhar Jordan in the 219th overall pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.11 · Pick 231 · Jalen Green · S · rank 208
Jalen Green at Round 7, Pick 11 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 265
They reached a country mile for Cody Simon at slot 246, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
