When a board-topper like Jordan Magee slides to pick 245, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They are betting Zinter proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
A conviction pick on Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
A tidy little value on Junior Colson in the 58th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
Mike Sainristil in the 88th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
Zak Zinter at Round 3, Pick 28 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones at No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 153
Tyrone Tracy Jr. slid further than he should have, and slot 169 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
They paid a round early for Nathaniel Watson in pick 202, more than the board wanted. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Nothing to complain about; Garret Greenfield went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
Taking Jordan Magee in slot 245 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Owens. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
