Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Cornelius Johnson got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 245.

They are betting Milton III proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get juice off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
A reach on Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st pick; the board had better options right there. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to pick No. 88. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
Cole Bishop at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni at the 126th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III in pick 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Trevin Wallace at No. 202 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
A conviction pick on Dominique Hampton at No. 219 that the board grades a round light. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 188
They barely believed it either: Cornelius Johnson still on the board at Round 7, Pick 25. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Caedan Wallace in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
