Call it larceny. Elijah Jones sat on the board until slot 216, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In pick No. 25 they get a problem off the edge at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in No. 41. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
Taking Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
They let Cooper Beebe come to them and pounced at pick 88. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
Trey Benson at slot 91 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
They did well to land McKinnley Jackson in the 127th pick, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Luke McCaffrey in the 168th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 184
They robbed the room for Myles Harden here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
Elijah Jones in pick No. 216 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 249
No edge and no loss on Ethan Driskell in Round 7, Pick 23; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 246
Nothing to complain about; LaDarius Henderson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
