There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Baylor Cupp a full 119 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 29
In the 25th overall pick they get a true top target at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 57
Brandon Dorlus at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in slot 57. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 83
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in Round 3, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 104
A reach on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 126
Javon Foster in pick 125 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
The board had cheaper options than Braelon Allen at the 135th overall pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 196
Nothing to complain about; Jared Wiley went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 216
They paid sticker price for Brevyn Spann-Ford in slot 217, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 220
Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Baylor Cupp · TE · rank 365
Baylor Cupp at the 246th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
