You build a draft on nights like this. Andru Phillips had no business being available in the 203rd pick, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Packers indulged a want in Gray while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The cost of the Hicks reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in No. 25. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 35
Xavier Legette at pick 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
Payton Wilson at slot 57 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in the 88th overall pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
They went early on Jaden Hicks in the 91st pick, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 136
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 126 on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
Jaylen Wright in the Round 5 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 176
Andru Phillips in Round 6, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 199
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tarheeb Still in the Round 6 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 237
A clean, defensible pick in slot 243 with a little surplus value in Jontrey Hunter. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 226
Jha'Quan Jackson at No. 251 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
