When a board-topper like Jaylen Wright slides to slot 203, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The cost of the Shipley reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In slot 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 9, with Tyler Nubin worth more than the price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 53
Kingsley Suamataia is a better player than No. 64 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 45
A top-tier edge rusher at a bargain, Kris Jenkins in the 88th overall pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
Junior Colson in the 91st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
They reached into another round for Will Shipley, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 149
They reached a country mile for Javion Cohen at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
Jarrian Jones at pick 135 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
Taking Jaylen Wright in the 203rd overall pick is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 208
A quiet steal in pick No. 217: Omar Speights for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 205
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jared Wiley in Round 6, Pick 44. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 227
The board fumbled Taulia Tagovailoa all the way to slot 246, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
