The Packers did not so much draft John Emery Jr. as overpay for him, 99 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

The Pritchett value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, a steep price for the projection. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 38
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 57 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
McKinnley Jackson at No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 69
Brenden Rice at slot 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
A wild overpay on Jaylen Wright in the 126th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 142
They robbed the room for Nehemiah Pritchett here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in pick No. 203. The roster fit checks out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nathaniel Watson in pick 216 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · John Emery Jr. · RB · rank 342
John Emery Jr. in slot 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Evan Williams · S · rank 282
Evan Williams at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
