Green Bay Packers

The Packers landed square in the muddy middle: C+.

Nobody had Christian Jones this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 62 spots to get him at pick No. 135.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Haynes where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

So much rides on Quinyon Mitchell that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 33
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
Value said wait; T'Vondre Sweat in pick 41 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
They paid up for Javon Bullard at the Round 2 slot when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 77
A slide stopped in the 88th overall pick, with Christian Haynes worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson at pick No. 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 146
They reached into another round for Dylan Laube, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
A wild overpay on Christian Jones in pick No. 135, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
No drama and no debate, Jawhar Jordan went about where he belonged in the 203rd overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
A real head-scratcher, Dwight McGlothern in slot 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
A tidy bit of business in the 219th pick, where Kenny Logan Jr. graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
Tatum Bethune at pick 246 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
