The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Isaac Guerendo, taking him 32 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The Packers indulged a want in Bishop while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Graham Barton in No. 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
A big swing on Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 76
Malachi Corley at the 63rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 87
McKinnley Jackson at pick No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
A premium they did not need to pay, Marshawn Kneeland a notch or two before his time. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
They paid a round early for Jaden Hicks in pick 98, more than the board wanted. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
A surprising call. With quarterback and tight end still to address, they spent the 126th pick on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
Nice patience on Braelon Allen, who had no business lasting to No. 168. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
No edge and no loss on JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 215
By-the-book stuff, Braiden McGregor at Round 6, Pick 41 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
Isaac Guerendo at slot 243 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 253
No drama and no debate, Trey Taylor went about where he belonged in the 251st overall pick. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
