Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Adonai Mitchell got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at slot 88. The bottom line is a respectable B.
Reaching for Wright left real value on the table behind him. The Packers indulged a want in Bullard while a need in quarterback, tight end and other spots stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 28 they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Calen Bullock in pick No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
You do not let a wide receiver like Keon Coleman reach pick 57 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Adonai Mitchell in Round 3, Pick 25 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent the 91st overall pick on Javon Bullard, a safety they were not short of.
A premium they did not need to pay, Cedric Gray a notch or two before his time. A minor itch, scratched.
A big swing on Jaylen Wright at slot 128, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No edge and no loss on Nehemiah Pritchett in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Christian Jones at the Round 6 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Steal is underselling it; Roger Rosengarten at No. 217 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at Round 6, Pick 44. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Dwight McGlothern in pick No. 246 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
