The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Bub Means, taking him 26 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Landing Cohen that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 28
In pick No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 39
They took Payton Wilson at par in pick 41, which is nothing to complain about. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 49
The board had Kris Jenkins higher than the 58th overall pick, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 99
Christian Mahogany in No. 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 122
A reasonable price with a little left over, Audric Estime in the Round 4 slot. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 158
Jaylin Simpson slipping to the 169th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Bub Means · WR · rank 228
They reached into another round for Bub Means, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 199
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Javion Cohen in No. 219, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 233
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ryan Watts at the 245th pick is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 247
A tidy bit of business in pick 255, where Tyler Owens graded well above the range. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
