The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Baylor Cupp at the 255th pick regardless, 92 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Benson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.5 · Pick 37 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
Nice patience on Amarius Mims, who had no business lasting to the 37th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
They jumped the gun on Mike Sainristil, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni at No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 102
A reach on Andru Phillips in Round 3, Pick 28; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
The board fumbled Trey Benson all the way to pick No. 110, and they scooped it up. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
Beaux Limmer at pick 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
They read the board right and Kitan Oladapo was the payoff at the 169th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 195
A tidy little value on Trente Jones in No. 202, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 199
Taking Curtis Jacobs in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
Kimani Vidal in slot 245 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Baylor Cupp · TE · rank 347
They reached a country mile for Baylor Cupp at pick No. 255, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
