Thirty-one other rooms let Josh Newton slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the 88th pick. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
A tidy little value on JC Latham in the 25th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
A tidy bit of business in slot 41, where Tyler Nubin graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 57
Chris Braswell in pick No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 59
Circle this one: Josh Newton at Round 3, Pick 25 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
Jonathon Brooks at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
They let Max Melton come to them and pounced at No. 125. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
A real head-scratcher, Braelon Allen in pick 135 is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 177
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach the 203rd pick and blink. They did not. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 245
A wild overpay on Maurice Smith in the 217th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. Weaver a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 252
Ja'Had Carter at pick No. 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
