A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

The Isaiah Davis selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 51 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
The McCaffrey pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. With cornerback and interior defensive lineman unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
A whole weekend of picks and cornerback is somehow still a want.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in the 37th pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
A premium they did not need to pay, Kris Jenkins a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Zach Frazier at slot 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Kamren Kinchens in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Cole Bishop in pick 88 leaves cornerback and interior defensive lineman for later.
Ben Sinnott at Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Isaiah Davis at No. 105 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Mohamed Kamara in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Luke McCaffrey in the Round 5 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevin Wallace in the 202nd overall pick, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
No edge and no loss on Jordan Magee in the 219th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
A tidy bit of business in pick 245, where Tylan Grable graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Austin Reed at pick No. 255 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
