The Packers torched the value chart for Jaylen Wright, taking him 75 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

The Jenkins steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In the 25th pick they get a potential shutdown corner, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
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. The roster fit checks out.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 43
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kris Jenkins at pick 57. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
Jaylen Wright in the 88th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks at No. 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 139
They jumped the gun on Cam Hart, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
Good price on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in No. 168, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
They took Christian Jones at par in pick 203, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
JD Bertrand at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 259
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at pick No. 243, and it noticed. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in Round 7, Pick 31, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
