Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent the 133rd overall pick on Brandon Coleman, a name most had 52 spots down the list.

They banked enough surplus on Rosemy-Jacksaint to cover a lot of smaller sins. It is not that Bishop is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In pick 25 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
You do not let a cornerback like Quinyon Mitchell reach the 41st pick and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in Round 2, Pick 31; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 72
Sedrick Van Pran in slot 66 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 107
They went early on Will Shipley in the 91st overall pick, and the value did not follow. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Value with a capital V on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 94, a genuine coup. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Cole Bishop while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 121
Josh Newton at Round 4, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Good price on Johnny Wilson in pick No. 131, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 185
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Brandon Coleman. The roster fit checks out.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
They talked themselves into JD Bertrand at the Round 5 slot, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Trevin Wallace in the 202nd pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 195
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 219th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jackson Sirmon · LB · rank 297
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jackson Sirmon in slot 255, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
