Call it larceny. Tykee Smith sat on the board until No. 125, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Reaching for Wright left real value on the table behind him. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens at the 25th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 40
Byron Murphy II in pick 41 is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
Junior Colson is a better player than the 88th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
Mike Sainristil at the Round 3 slot is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 25 on Tykee Smith, a safety they were not short of.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
A reasonable price with a little left over, Christian Jones in slot 203. It fills a real need, too.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
They read the board right and Jawhar Jordan was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 42. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 228
A premium they did not need to pay, J.J. Weaver a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
They jumped the gun on Dwight McGlothern, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
