Every other box got a look, but quarterback did not. The Packers will head to camp with the same hole they walked in with. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
That is an edge rusher worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. If Hicks pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
Troy Fautanu in pick No. 25 is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Kris Jenkins at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Somehow Chop Robinson was still sitting there in pick 57, and they pounced on premier edge rusher value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaden Hicks this early at the 88th pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Marist Liufau at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Good price on Kris Abrams-Draine in the 125th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Johnny Dixon at slot 135 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
