The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jarrian Jones, the No. 123 name on the board, in pick 168. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

The cost of the Wright reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
In pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 24
Keon Coleman is a better player than the 41st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 60
Jonathon Brooks in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 64
They will replay Javon Bullard at Round 3, Pick 25 for years; that is how good the value is. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 75
Junior Colson in pick No. 91 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jaylen Wright. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in the 168th pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
Christian Jones in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nathaniel Watson at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Demani Richardson · S · rank 246
No drama and no debate, Demani Richardson went about where he belonged in the 243rd pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
A straight-up fair deal on Dwight McGlothern at slot 251, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
