The Packers bet big and early on Maema Njongmeta, 84 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

The Mims pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up. The Taylor-Demerson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back, tight end and other spots still on the board.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In pick No. 26 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In slot 27 they get a sticky cover corner at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Fair-plus on Edgerrin Cooper, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
Somehow Amarius Mims was still sitting there in the 58th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 25, with Max Melton worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Jaden Hicks in the 90th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 91st overall pick leaves running back, tight end and other spots for later.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 92 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
A reach on Roger Rosengarten in pick 126; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 166
Marist Liufau at slot 158 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 199
No edge and no loss on Steele Chambers in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 190
Johnny Dixon in the 216th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 189
Tahj Washington at No. 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Steal is underselling it; Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 45 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Maema Njongmeta · LB · rank 329
Maema Njongmeta at pick No. 245 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Austin Reed · QB · rank 274
They left a pile of value on the table to take Austin Reed this early at Round 7, Pick 35. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
