The Packers bet big and early on Jaylen Wright, 75 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Smith-Wade falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line, though the board says they badly overpaid. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 43
Kris Jenkins in No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 63
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at the 57th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
A big swing on Jaylen Wright at pick 88, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
They read the board right and Cooper Beebe was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 28. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 136
Cedric Gray at the 126th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 168 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 168
Taking Chau Smith-Wade in the 203rd pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 238
Value said wait; Darius Muasau in pick No. 216 says they were not listening. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 241
They took Daequan Hardy at par in the 243rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
A real head-scratcher, Isaac Guerendo in slot 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
