The Packers went off the board in a big way for Jaylen Harrell, 49 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Spending an early pick on safety with quarterback open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Hit on Jackson Powers-Johnson and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
In pick No. 28 they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. A real need, handled.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Graham Barton in pick 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 76
Malachi Corley at No. 63 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 95
Tyler Davis at the 88th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson in slot 94 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 122
A wild overpay on Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 98, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 133
Daijun Edwards at the 110th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
No drama and no debate, Cole Bishop went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 25. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 129
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in No. 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · James Williams · S · rank 135
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with quarterback open.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 139
They paid sticker price for Cam Hart in pick No. 134, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 178
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Brandon Coleman well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.26 · Pick 162 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 213
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Harrell in Round 5, Pick 28, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 207
JD Bertrand at pick 168 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Austin Stogner · TE · rank 212
A reach for Austin Stogner in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
