The Packers went off the board in a big way for Rasheen Ali, 57 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Hard to defend, and the D- reflects that.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

However the rest shakes out, Rosemy-Jacksaint at that price is a win they earned. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In the 27th overall pick they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In slot 28 they get a blindside protector at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 13 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
Junior Colson at pick No. 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson at pick 90 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Trey Benson in No. 91 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
R5.14 · Pick 150 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
Jarrian Jones is a better player than pick No. 150 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
The board had cheaper options than Ty'Ron Hopper at pick 168, and it noticed. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Mason McCormick in the 169th pick, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 259
Rasheen Ali at Round 6, Pick 27 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford slipping to slot 219 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 195
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
No drama and no debate, Tyler Owens went about where he belonged in slot 255. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
