Baker should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Javon Baker, the No. 180 name on the board, sitting there at slot 216 like a gift left on the doorstep. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

They are betting Allen proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In slot 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Beebe this early at Round 2, Pick 25. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks at the 88th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
Nothing to complain about; Marist Liufau went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 181
Jordan Jefferson at the 168th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 186
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 203, where Ethan Driskell graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 180
Taking Javon Baker in Round 6, Pick 41 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Mark Perry · S · rank 244
A straight-up fair deal on Mark Perry at pick No. 243, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Jeremy James · OT · rank 253
No edge and no loss on Jeremy James in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
