Future B-

Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Renardo Green, the No. 153 name on the board, should have been long gone before No. 203. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Powers-Johnson left real value on the table behind him. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In the 32nd pick they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 41st overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
Calen Bullock is a better player than pick 57 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 70
By-the-book stuff, Brandon Dorlus at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 81
The board had Braden Fiske higher than Round 3, Pick 27, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in slot 91, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 122
Fair-plus on Kris Abrams-Draine, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 136
Cedric Gray at No. 137 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
They read the board right and Braelon Allen was the payoff at the 168th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Renardo Green · S · rank 153
Renardo Green at pick No. 203 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 195
Tarheeb Still in slot 216 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 246
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Steele Chambers. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 225
Ryan Watts in Round 7, Pick 31 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
