The Packers spent real capital to be 75 picks early on Jack Westover, and the board is going to hold them to it. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Johnson.

That interior defensive lineman hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In slot 30 they get an island corner at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
A slide stopped in pick 58, with Kris Jenkins worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
A tidy little value on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 91, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
They paid sticker price for MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 93, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at the 113th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 159
A wild overpay on Hunter Nourzad in Round 4, Pick 26, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
A tidy bit of business in the 169th overall pick, where Kitan Oladapo graded well above the range. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III at pick 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 188
Cornelius Johnson at slot 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jack Westover · TE · rank 320
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jack Westover this early at pick No. 245. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 237
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Daijahn Anthony in No. 255, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
