More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

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 Jaylen Wright in No. 126.

On value alone, Jacobs makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Packers indulged a want in Hicks while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 35 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens at pick No. 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 45
Devontez Walker at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 87
McKinnley Jackson at pick 66 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 106
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 88 on Jaden Hicks with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Max Melton · CB · rank 111
Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 28 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 161
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at slot 126. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 134
Cedric Gray in the 137th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 188
They reached into another round for Isaiah Davis, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 203
Christian Jones in the 188th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. The roster fit checks out.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 183
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at No. 203 is a fall that decides a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 201
JD Bertrand in pick 216 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 269
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dwight McGlothern. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 267
A reach on Xavier Thomas in pick No. 251; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
