Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent slot 219 on Dwight McGlothern, a name the board had a full 38 spots lower.

Landing Davis that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. It is not that Hicks is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

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

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 17
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
Calen Bullock in pick No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 57
Edgerrin Cooper at the 57th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 81
A reasonable price with a little left over, Mike Sainristil in slot 88. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 91st overall pick on Jaden Hicks with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent Round 4, Pick 25 on Cedric Gray, a linebacker they were not short of.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 184
Isaiah Davis at the 203rd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 225
A reach for Daequan Hardy in the Round 6 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dwight McGlothern this early at the 219th overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Evan Williams · S · rank 282
Evan Williams in pick 246 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
