You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Isaac Rex at pick 255, roughly 67 spots before his name belonged. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Landing Washington that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
A reach on Jordan Morgan in Round 1, Pick 28; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A slide stopped in No. 58, with Edgerrin Cooper worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Kris Jenkins slid further than he should have, and the 60th pick is lovely value for the edge rusher. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A wild overpay on Cole Bishop in pick No. 82, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Nothing to complain about; Dominick Puni went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They went early on Elijah Jones in the Round 3 slot, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They took Josh Newton at par in No. 117, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Nelson Ceaser at Round 5, Pick 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tahj Washington in the 202nd overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Nathaniel Watson at slot 219 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Fair-plus on KT Leveston, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Rex. It fills a real need, too.
