Bullard should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a C.

You build a draft on nights like this. Javon Bullard had no business being available in pick 91, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They are betting Foster proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

It is not that Bullard is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 25
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 61
A wild overpay on Zach Frazier in slot 41, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 58
Ricky Pearsall at No. 63 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 72
Jaden Hicks at pick No. 88 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 60
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Javon Bullard at safety with quarterback and tight end open.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 121
Value said wait; Javon Foster in pick 98 says they were not listening. The roster fit checks out.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 119
They let Tyler Davis come to them and pounced at the 127th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 125
Josh Newton in the 132nd overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 173
Braiden McGregor at pick No. 168 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 211
They did well to land JD Bertrand in No. 216, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 249
By-the-book stuff, Ethan Driskell at pick 251 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
