If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Sam Hartman at pick No. 243 is 39 spots clear of where he belonged. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Edwards value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 22
In slot 25 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 43
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 57
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kamren Kinchens. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 81
A reasonable price with a little left over, Khyree Jackson in the 88th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 98
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in Round 3, Pick 28; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 135
Theo Johnson at the 127th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 188
Value said wait; Hunter Nourzad in pick 168 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
Elijah Jones is a better player than No. 204 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 204
They read the board right and Daijun Edwards was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 282
Sam Hartman at slot 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 244
LaDarius Henderson at Round 7, Pick 31 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
