The Packers went off the board in a big way for John Emery Jr., 96 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. Barner at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at slot 41 squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 63
Zach Frazier at the 57th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
A want over a need in the 91st overall pick: Jaden Hicks adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
They paid up for Cedric Gray at No. 125 when waiting would have done the job. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
A real head-scratcher, Jaylen Wright in Round 4, Pick 35 is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
Christian Jones at pick 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 223
Darius Muasau in the 217th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 193
AJ Barner at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · John Emery Jr. · RB · rank 342
John Emery Jr. at No. 246 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.
