Green Bay Packers

More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They banked enough surplus on Flournoy to cover a lot of smaller sins. They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
A straight-up fair deal on Amarius Mims at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson at slot 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Good price on Jaden Hicks in the 88th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in No. 91. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
A premium they did not need to pay, Jarrian Jones a notch or two before his time. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 157
Dylan Laube slipping to pick 169 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
Nice patience on Trente Jones, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 27. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
They read the board right and Ryan Flournoy was the payoff at the 219th overall pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Trevin Wallace in pick 245 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kalen DeLoach · S · rank 247
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kalen DeLoach at pick No. 255 is the proof. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
