More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

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 Donovan Jennings in Round 7, Pick 35. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 24
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 39
Payton Wilson at pick 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 80
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 115
A reach for Cam Hart in the 107th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 79
Steal is underselling it; Jermaine Burton at pick No. 110 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaiah Adams · OT · rank 125
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaiah Adams. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 154
A slide stopped in pick 169, with Tanor Bortolini worth more than the price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 159
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Dallin Holker in slot 181, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 158
Somehow Jaylin Simpson was still sitting there in the 183rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 212
They liked Cody Schrader enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 207
Nathaniel Watson at the 219th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 230
They paid sticker price for Trey Taylor in No. 225, and that is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 253
Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 25 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 245
They let Kendall Milton come to them and pounced at pick No. 253. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 291
A wild overpay on Donovan Jennings in pick 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
