Green Bay Packers

A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-.

The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 219th overall pick on Dwight McGlothern a full 38 spots early.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Braswell. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A reach on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 43; the board had better options right there. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 68
Payton Wilson at No. 57 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 56
Chris Braswell at the 88th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks in pick No. 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
A big swing on Jaylen Wright at pick 125, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 135 on Malik Mustapha with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 202
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Magee at the 203rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 207
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Gabe Hall at the 217th pick is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
A wild overpay on Dwight McGlothern in pick 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 248
By-the-book stuff, Donovan Jennings at No. 246 squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
