Future B

When a board-topper like Curtis Jacobs slides to the 219th overall pick, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Trotter Jr. pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in pick No. 34; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 50
Junior Colson at pick 46 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 84
Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 90
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in No. 92. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matt Goncalves at the 125th overall pick is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 147
Tykee Smith slipping to the Round 5 slot is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 159
Mason McCormick slid further than he should have, and the 168th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.26 · Pick 201 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 190
A quiet steal in No. 201: Kendall Milton for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 197
Curtis Jacobs in the 219th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 253
They paid up for Josh Wallace at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.29 · Pick 249 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 250
They took Edefuan Ulofoshio at par in the 249th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 249
A reasonable price with a little left over, Ethan Driskell in pick 255. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
