The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Donovan Jennings at pick No. 255 regardless, 36 picks early. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Means pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 31
In slot 27 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 36
They paid sticker price for Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 86
Devontez Walker in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 104
Maason Smith in Round 3, Pick 27 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
Cole Bishop at No. 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 97
Roger Rosengarten in pick 95 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 139
A conviction pick on Elijah Jones at Round 4, Pick 26 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 119
Cedric Gray at pick No. 131 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 154
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in the 140th pick, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
R6.20 · Pick 195 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 186
Dominique Hampton is a better player than the 195th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 189
Curtis Jacobs slipping to slot 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Bub Means · WR · rank 228
Bub Means in No. 245 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 291
Donovan Jennings in pick 255 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
