Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Jarrian Jones. He came off 58 spots early, and the room will hear about it. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety, reach and all.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 35
Taking Jordan Morgan in slot 58 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
They talked themselves into Isaac Guerendo at No. 88, and the board did not agree. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jarrian Jones in Round 3, Pick 28, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 119
They let Tyler Davis come to them and pounced at pick No. 127. The roster fit checks out.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 220
A real head-scratcher, Garret Greenfield in slot 168 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
They read the board right and Elijah Jones was the payoff at the 204th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Tanner McLachlan · TE · rank 222
They took Tanner McLachlan at par in pick No. 216, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Solomon Byrd · DE-EDGE · rank 273
A big swing on Solomon Byrd at Round 7, Pick 23, well ahead of any board in the building. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 240
Kimani Vidal at pick 251 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
