The trade table was a mismatch, and the Packers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Bell. The cost of the Dennis-Sutton reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
They let Chris Johnson come to them and pounced at the 40th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A slide stopped in slot 53, with Chris Bell worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christen Miller. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jake Slaughter at Round 3, Pick 4 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
Dani Dennis-Sutton at the Round 3 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They jumped the gun on Sam Roush, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Darrell Jackson Jr. in pick 101 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A straight-up fair deal on De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 109, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
