The J.J. Weaver pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 62 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Jones at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In pick No. 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan in the 41st overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 94
Caelen Carson at slot 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
They paid sticker price for Cole Bishop in No. 103, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
Nice patience on Elijah Jones, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 26. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 168
Dillon Johnson in the 169th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 177
Good price on Khristian Boyd in the 180th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
A premium they did not need to pay, Garret Greenfield a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 213
Nathaniel Watson at pick 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 257
Rasheen Ali at No. 245 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 317
J.J. Weaver at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
