Somebody in Round 7, Pick 25 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while JD Bertrand, the No. 221 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Packers indulged a want in Gray while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They are betting Jefferson proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In slot 25 they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
Good price on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2, Pick 9, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 46
A tidy bit of business in pick 58, where Edgerrin Cooper graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 84
A reasonable price with a little left over, Calen Bullock in the Round 3 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
Bucky Irving at the 91st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 116
A want over a need in the 126th pick: Cedric Gray adds a linebacker while quarterback and tight end keeps waiting.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 184
They jumped the gun on Jordan Jefferson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 180
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Williams in pick No. 202, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 218
They paid sticker price for Keith Randolph Jr. in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 221
JD Bertrand in slot 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
Nice patience on Josh Proctor, who had no business lasting to No. 255. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
