The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Donovan Jennings went at pick No. 255, a good 37 picks before the board was ready.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Hit on Jordan Morgan and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 34
In No. 27 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 46
By-the-book stuff, Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 67
Max Melton in the 58th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 96
Ray Davis at pick No. 90 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 102
A premium they did not need to pay, Ben Sinnott a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 114
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mohamed Kamara. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jordan Travis · QB · rank 181
They paid a round early for Jordan Travis in Round 5, Pick 33, more than the board wanted. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.31 · Pick 206 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 205
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in the 206th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 230
Trey Taylor in pick 219 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jaylon Carlies · S · rank 268
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylon Carlies well ahead of where he belonged. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 233
They read the board right and Ryan Watts was the payoff at pick No. 245. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 292
Donovan Jennings at slot 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
