You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Keilan Robinson in slot 245. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Wilson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
The board had cheaper options than Edgerrin Cooper at No. 41, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 2 slot on Payton Wilson with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
A reasonable price with a little left over, Calen Bullock in Round 3, Pick 25. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Nothing to complain about; Dominick Puni went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
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. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 189
Tanor Bortolini in No. 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Solomon Byrd · DE-EDGE · rank 262
Solomon Byrd at pick No. 202 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 217
By-the-book stuff, Garret Greenfield at pick 219 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Keilan Robinson · RB · rank 310
Value said wait; Keilan Robinson in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 257
Tyrice Knight at the 255th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
