The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with.

The Baker pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

A strong weekend's work, and a rare one to find this little fault with.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In the 32nd pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 41
Tyler Guyton in pick 52 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
A straight-up fair deal on Bucky Irving at No. 88, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · James Williams · S · rank 130
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 136
A slide stopped in the 144th overall pick, with Malik Mustapha worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R5.17 · Pick 153 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 146
Theo Johnson at the Round 5 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 159
LaDarius Henderson slid further than he should have, and slot 169 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.23 · Pick 198 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 178
Somehow Javon Baker was still sitting there in the 198th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jalen Green · S · rank 208
Jalen Green in the 203rd pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
They paid sticker price for Jawhar Jordan in pick 204, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 219
J.J. Weaver at pick No. 217 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 220
By-the-book stuff, Taulia Tagovailoa at No. 219 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 239
They did well to land Eric Gentry in Round 7, Pick 26, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
