The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 72 spots for Jaylen Wright, and value like that does not grow back. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

On value alone, Williams makes the weekend a net positive. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
Nice patience on Cooper DeJean, who had no business lasting to No. 25. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Chop Robinson at pick No. 57 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks in the 88th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 126
They took Justin Eboigbe at par in Round 4, Pick 26, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 183
The board had cheaper options than Jaylan Ford at slot 168, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 238
They left a pile of value on the table to take Darius Muasau this early at pick No. 216. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Guerendo in the 243rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 209
Circle this one: Isaiah Williams at No. 251 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
