The rest of the league had time to spare on Keilan Robinson; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 132 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 31.
Kinchens falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The Packers indulged a want in Kinchens while a need in quarterback, wide receiver and other spots stayed open.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.25
· Pick 25
· Kool-Aid McKinstry
· CB
· rank 25
In the 25th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9
· Pick 41
· Tyler Nubin
· S
· rank 40
They took Tyler Nubin at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26
· Pick 58
· Brandon Dorlus
· DE-EDGE
· rank 79
A wild overpay on Brandon Dorlus in No. 58, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.25
· Pick 88
· Kamren Kinchens
· S
· rank 57
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Kamren Kinchens adds a safety and leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots untouched.
R3.28
· Pick 91
· Christian Mahogany
· OG
· rank 97
Christian Mahogany at the 91st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.27
· Pick 127
· James Williams
· S
· rank 118
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
R5.32
· Pick 168
· Jaylan Ford
· LB
· rank 195
A big swing on Jaylan Ford at the 168th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.29
· Pick 204
· Elijah Jones
· CB
· rank 193
The board had Elijah Jones higher than pick No. 204, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.41
· Pick 216
· Brevyn Spann-Ford
· TE
· rank 237
Brevyn Spann-Ford in slot 216 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
R7.23
· Pick 243
· Trevin Wallace
· LB
· rank 234
Trevin Wallace slid further than he should have, and pick 243 is lovely value for the linebacker. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.31
· Pick 251
· Keilan Robinson
· RB
· rank 383
Value said wait; Keilan Robinson in the 251st pick says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
