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 Sam Hartman in the 232nd pick. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Monheim pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.11 · Pick 11 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 11
In the 11th pick they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 20
Tyler Nubin in slot 39 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 52
A premium they did not need to pay, Brian Thomas Jr. a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 67
Byron Murphy II slipping to No. 75 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 99
They paid a round early for Braelon Allen in pick 88, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 110
Roman Wilson at the 111th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.25 · Pick 161 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 162
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylan Ford. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Jonah Monheim · OT · rank 151
You do not let an offensive lineman like Jonah Monheim reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 169
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at the 189th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 212
A conviction pick on Miles Frazier at the 202nd pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 242
A real head-scratcher, Jordan Jefferson in Round 6, Pick 42 is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 214
Fair-plus on De'Corian Clark, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 260
Sam Hartman in pick 232 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
