The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Calen Bullock, the No. 49 name on the board, in the 88th overall pick. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Thomas reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 37
In pick 25 they get a two-high chess piece, though they paid up to get him.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 43
No edge and no loss on Byron Murphy II in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 49
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Calen Bullock in No. 88 leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots for later.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in the 91st pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 121
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 125 with a little surplus value in Jarrian Jones. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 154
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 188
A tidy bit of business in the 203rd overall pick, where Rasheen Ali graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 212
Good price on Sheridan Jones in the 217th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 246
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at pick No. 219, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
Dwight McGlothern in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
