The Packers bet big and early on Jalen Sundell, 36 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. However the rest shakes out, Jones at that price is a win they earned.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 23
In the 25th pick they get a weapon on the perimeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at No. 58 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
A conviction pick on Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 25 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 126
They paid sticker price for Cedric Gray in pick No. 127, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
They barely believed it either: Jarrian Jones still on the board at pick 168. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 29, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
Elijah Jones at pick No. 216 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 240
A clean, defensible pick in slot 243 with a little surplus value in Kimani Vidal. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 287
Jalen Sundell at No. 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
