Nobody else had Cole Bishop anywhere near pick No. 94. The Packers did, by 33 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. Landing Wilson that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.

About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with quarterback still staring back at them.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 27
In the 29th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
Payton Wilson at the 41st pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 52
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 63. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
A tidy bit of business in slot 88, where Johnny Wilson graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 118
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kris Abrams-Draine well ahead of where he belonged. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 127
Cole Bishop at No. 94 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A curious use of Round 3, Pick 35. Quarterback and interior defensive lineman needed the pick; an OLB-EDGE in Javon Solomon did not.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 129
Will Shipley in pick No. 99 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · James Williams · S · rank 130
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. James Williams in slot 125 leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman for later.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 125
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tommy Eichenberg adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman untouched.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in the 131st pick is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 138
Ben Sinnott in the 135th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 168
They took Brandon Coleman at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Braiden McGregor · DL-EDGE · rank 198
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braiden McGregor in pick 171, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
