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
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside, though they paid up to get him. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Value said wait; T'Vondre Sweat in pick 41 says they were not listening. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
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.
A slide stopped in the 88th overall pick, with Christian Haynes worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Tatum Bethune at pick 246 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
