The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Matthew Jones, taking him 26 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. No fireworks, but a solid B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The Fautanu pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 18
In the 25th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 41 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 54
Adisa Isaac in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Patrick Paul in slot 88 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in the 126th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 192
This one needs a full-page explanation: Delmar Glaze in the Round 5 slot, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 189
Tahj Washington is a better player than pick No. 202 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A tidy little value on Nathaniel Watson in slot 219, a step better than break-even. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 271
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Matthew Jones well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Taylor a notch or two before his time. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
