The Packers bet big and early on Isaiah Davis, 30 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Nubin. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach pick No. 58 and blink. They did not. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Khyree Jackson at No. 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Dominick Puni at slot 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Value said wait; Isaiah Davis in the 126th pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A premium they did not need to pay, Fabien Lovett a notch or two before his time. A need, and now a little less of one.
A reach for Nathaniel Watson in pick 202; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
A big swing on Josh Proctor at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Bub Means in pick No. 245 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They took Emani Bailey at par in the 255th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
