Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent slot 210 on LaDarius Henderson, a name most had 36 spots down the list.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. It is not that Williams is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

The Washington pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.5 · Pick 37 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 35
No drama and no debate, Jordan Morgan went about where he belonged in pick 37. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 40
No edge and no loss on Kamari Lassiter in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 86
They took Blake Corum at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 90
A straight-up fair deal on Marshawn Kneeland at pick No. 91, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
Fair-plus on Cole Bishop, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · James Williams · S · rank 120
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent pick 127 on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 168
Javion Cohen at No. 168 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Tahj Washington · WR · rank 192
Tahj Washington at pick No. 204 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 246
LaDarius Henderson at the 210th overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 236
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trevin Wallace this early at slot 216. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 256
Joshua Cephus at the 243rd pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 253
Josh Wallace at the Round 7 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
