Hard to follow the map here. The Packers bypassed quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Javon Bullard at the 57th pick, a spot they had covered. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. On value alone, Davis makes the weekend a net positive.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Kamren Kinchens at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Javon Bullard, a safety that was not the priority.
They read the board right and Mike Sainristil was the payoff at the 88th overall pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
No edge and no loss on Jarrian Jones in the 126th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jaylen Wright at No. 168 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Isaiah Davis at pick 203 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jordan Magee in Round 6, Pick 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steele Chambers. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
They took Trevor Keegan at par in No. 251, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
