When a board-topper like Chau Smith-Wade slides to pick 203, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Randolph Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an enforcer at safety. More want than need.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
They paid a round early for Graham Barton in the Round 2 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 57
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 85
Nothing to complain about; Caelen Carson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 87
McKinnley Jackson in slot 91 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 156
Keith Randolph Jr. in pick No. 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 167
LaDarius Henderson at the 168th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 166
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in pick 203 is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 215
No drama and no debate, Omar Speights went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 41. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 232
Blake Watson at the 243rd overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Demani Richardson · S · rank 254
They took Demani Richardson at par in slot 251, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
