There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Jake Johnson, 113 picks ahead of schedule.

They banked enough surplus on Sanders to cover a lot of smaller sins. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.23 · Pick 23 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 20
In No. 23 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 62
Fair-plus on Jaxson Dart, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 93
They took Nicholas Singleton at par in the 87th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.22 · Pick 118 · Rylie Mills · DT · rank 130
They went early on Rylie Mills in Round 4, Pick 22, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.23 · Pick 119 · Collin Oliver · LB · rank 141
A big swing on Collin Oliver at slot 119, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.2 · Pick 130 · Shilo Sanders · S · rank 83
They will replay Shilo Sanders at pick 130 for years; that is how good the value is. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.23 · Pick 151 · Julian Fleming · WR · rank 172
They talked themselves into Julian Fleming at slot 151, and the board did not agree. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.23 · Pick 183 · Gentry Williams · CB · rank 190
By-the-book stuff, Gentry Williams at the 183rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.20 · Pick 212 · Hunter Wohler · S · rank 209
Nothing to complain about; Hunter Wohler went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.22 · Pick 214 · Thor Griffith · DT · rank 231
Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.23 · Pick 215 · Zy Alexander · CB · rank 198
Value with a capital V on Zy Alexander in pick 215, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.26 · Pick 218 · Turner Corcoran · OT · rank 268
Turner Corcoran at Round 7, Pick 26 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
R7.29 · Pick 221 · Jake Johnson · TE · rank 334
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jake Johnson well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.31 · Pick 223 · Cody Simon · LB · rank 255
Cody Simon in No. 223 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
