Nobody else had DeMonte Capehart anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Packers did, by 48 spots, and that gap is the whole story.

The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jurkovec.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 25
In pick No. 31 they get a rangy last line of defense. More want than need.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 40
T.J. Tampa at No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 54
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kingsley Suamataia in the 57th pick. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 83
Mike Sainristil in pick 88 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
A slide stopped in the 92nd overall pick, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 129
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 127
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 35 on Cole Bishop with wide receiver unsolved.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 196
Jared Wiley at the 203rd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.38 · Pick 213 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 201
Omar Speights at the 213th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 265
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for DeMonte Capehart. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 247
Myles Cole at the Round 6 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 227
Phil Jurkovec in pick No. 246 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
