The Packers bet big and early on Matt Lee, 50 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.

Landing McMillan that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 42
Chris Braswell in slot 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
They barely believed it either: Tyler Nubin still on the board at the 58th overall pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 98
They liked Leonard Taylor III enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It fills a real need, too.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
By-the-book stuff, Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 3 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 99
Somehow Jalen McMillan was still sitting there in No. 127, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 198
Joe Milton III at pick 168 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 179
A straight-up fair deal on Khristian Boyd at the Round 6 slot, value and slot in agreement. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 195
Nice patience on Jaylan Ford, who had no business lasting to Round 6, Pick 29. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 217
Michael Barrett at the 216th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 223
They paid sticker price for Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 220, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Matt Lee · C · rank 293
A big swing on Matt Lee at slot 243, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 267
De'Corian Clark in No. 251 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
