You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Mason Fairchild in Round 7, Pick 39. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took McGlothern. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan in slot 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 25. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
They read the board right and Kitan Oladapo was the payoff at the 165th pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in the 169th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trente Jones in the 202nd pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.43 · Pick 218 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is the proof. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
Dwight McGlothern at Round 6, Pick 44 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell at No. 245 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 259
They took Sam Hartman at par in pick 255, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 268
Trey Taylor at slot 256 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Mason Fairchild · TE · rank 340
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mason Fairchild. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
