The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending slot 126 on Jaylen Wright a full 37 spots early. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

That Thomas Jr. pick is the receipt they will wave around later. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 61
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in the 58th overall pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks in pick 74 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Max Melton · CB · rank 112
Max Melton in No. 110 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 134
A tidy bit of business in slot 142, where Will Shipley graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 161
Khristian Boyd at the 168th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at pick No. 203 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 241
A wild overpay on Daequan Hardy in the 216th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 279
Myles Cole in pick 243 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 259
They liked Nathaniel Watson enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 7, Pick 31. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
