The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 37 spots for Jaylen Wright, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Bertrand pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A premium they did not need to pay, Jackson Powers-Johnson a notch or two before his time. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at the 57th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 87
A straight-up fair deal on McKinnley Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
The board had cheaper options than Jaden Hicks at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
They talked themselves into Jaylen Wright at the 126th pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
Nothing to complain about; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the 203rd overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
JD Bertrand at No. 216 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
A big swing on Isaac Guerendo at slot 243, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 241
Daequan Hardy at Round 7, Pick 31 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
