Flashes of a plan, unevenly run, for the Packers: C.

The Baylor Cupp pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 133 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Packers indulged a want in Oladapo while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 34
In pick No. 25 they get a blindside protector, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 54
A clean, defensible pick in the 58th pick with a little surplus value in Javon Bullard. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 94
A straight-up fair deal on MarShawn Lloyd at slot 88, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Michael Pratt · QB · rank 145
They talked themselves into Michael Pratt at the 105th overall pick, and the board did not agree. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 142
A want over a need in Round 4, Pick 10: Kitan Oladapo adds a safety while edge rusher keeps waiting.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 178
A surprising call. With edge rusher still to address, they spent pick 126 on Ty'Ron Hopper, a linebacker they were not short of.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kalen King · CB · rank 193
Kalen King at No. 168 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Evan Williams · S · rank 232
They reached into another round for Evan Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jacob Monk · OT · rank 234
Jacob Monk at pick No. 181 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.15 · Pick 190 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 250
Trente Jones at the 190th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 292
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Donovan Jennings well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Evan Anderson · DL · rank 272
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Anderson. The roster fit checks out.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Baylor Cupp · TE · rank 358
A big swing on Baylor Cupp at slot 225, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · X'Zauvea Gadlin · OT · rank 324
A real head-scratcher, X'Zauvea Gadlin in the 245th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Tyler Harrell · WR · rank 356
A wild overpay on Tyler Harrell in Round 7, Pick 33, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Michael Wiley · RB · rank 315
Value said wait; Michael Wiley in the 255th pick says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
