The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 251st overall pick on DeMonte Capehart a full 73 spots early.

Bishop falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 15
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 33
They read the board right and Kamren Kinchens was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 9. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 39
The board fumbled Tyler Guyton all the way to the 58th overall pick, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 68
You do not let a running back like Trey Benson reach No. 88 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
A want over a need in the Round 3 slot: Jaden Hicks adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Max Melton · CB · rank 112
A quiet steal in pick No. 127: Max Melton for less than the market said. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 168 is the definition of value, full stop. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 183
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Jaylan Ford in slot 204, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 207
JD Bertrand is a better player than the 216th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 214
De'Corian Clark in No. 243 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 324
DeMonte Capehart at pick 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
