The rest of the league had time to spare on Jarrett Kingston; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 66 spots ahead at No. 247.

Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Gray pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver still on the board. However the rest shakes out, Arnold at that price is a win they earned.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
Nice patience on Terrion Arnold, who had no business lasting to the Round 1 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in the 41st pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 62
No edge and no loss on Jaden Hicks in Round 2, Pick 26; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 65
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at pick 64, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 114
They went early on Mohamed Kamara in the 105th overall pick, and the value did not follow. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 113
Braelon Allen in slot 110 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 119
A want over a need in pick No. 126: Cedric Gray adds a linebacker while wide receiver keeps waiting.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarrian Jones in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 166
AJ Barner at the 169th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 216
Joe Milton III at the 202nd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 230
A reach for Trey Taylor in No. 219; a little patience would have been rewarded. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.18 · Pick 238 · Jowon Briggs · DT · rank 271
They reached into another round for Jowon Briggs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Jarrett Kingston · OT · rank 313
Jarrett Kingston at pick 247 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jaylon Carlies · S · rank 270
Jaylon Carlies in the 255th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
