You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Malik Mustapha in pick No. 127. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cooper DeJean in the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 43, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 59; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 67
No drama and no debate, Ruke Orhorhoro went about where he belonged in pick 62. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 80
Marshawn Kneeland in the 64th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 97
They paid up for Brenden Rice at the 86th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 109
Will Shipley in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 122
Josh Newton in slot 123 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 169
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 127 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
