Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jaylin Simpson got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the Round 6 slot.

The Jones reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens in No. 35 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 57
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the 57th pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 76
Christian Haynes at slot 66 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 81
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in pick 88, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
They paid up for Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Will Shipley. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at the 137th overall pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 142
A cornerback of that caliber at Round 5, Pick 32 is the definition of value, full stop. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
Christian Jones at the 169th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 151
Circle this one: Jaylin Simpson at slot 216 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
