If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Austin Booker at pick No. 125 is 34 spots clear of where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The Wilson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In slot 25 they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 48
Patrick Paul at pick 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 70
Payton Wilson in No. 63 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
Tykee Smith at the Round 3 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 83
Nice patience on Roman Wilson, who had no business lasting to pick No. 91. It fills a real need, too.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Austin Booker · DL-EDGE · rank 159
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Booker well ahead of where he belonged. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
Braelon Allen at pick 131 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
They went early on Drake Nugent in the 135th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 205
They took Jared Wiley at par in No. 203, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 214
A reasonable price with a little left over, Myles Jones in the 217th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 220
They paid sticker price for Jontrey Hunter in the Round 6 slot, and that is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 250
No edge and no loss on Zion Logue in slot 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
