The rest of the league will want that one back. Javon Bullard tumbling to the Packers in the Round 3 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
The Packers indulged a want in Bullard while a need in quarterback, wide receiver and other spots stayed open. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A tidy little value on Chop Robinson in No. 41, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
The board had Calen Bullock higher than the 57th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A curious use of the 88th overall pick. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Javon Bullard did not.
Bucky Irving in pick 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Kris Abrams-Draine at slot 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
By-the-book stuff, Layden Robinson at the Round 5 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They took AJ Barner at par in Round 6, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Jordan Magee at slot 216 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
You do not let a running back like Jawhar Jordan reach the 243rd pick and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Good price on Steele Chambers in pick 251, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
