You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Hayden Hatten in the 255th overall pick. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cooper DeJean. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 51 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
They paid a round early for Patrick Paul in No. 58, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
They took Calen Bullock at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 25, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 90 on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
Nice patience on Elijah Jones, who had no business lasting to pick No. 126. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
Kitan Oladapo at slot 138 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in the 169th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.20 · Pick 195 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 222
A big swing on Gabe Hall at pick 195, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
Kimani Vidal in No. 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 221
Jordan Magee in the Round 6 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
By-the-book stuff, Trevin Wallace at the 226th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
No drama and no debate, Jalen Sundell went about where he belonged in the 245th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Hayden Hatten · WR · rank 327
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Hatten in pick 255, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
