The Packers spent real capital to be 40 picks early on Marist Liufau, and the board is going to hold them to it. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Keegan. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
Darius Robinson at the 41st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 41
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 26, where Kamari Lassiter graded well above the range. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 90
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in pick 88. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson in pick No. 94 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 166
A wild overpay on Marist Liufau in No. 126, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
They robbed the room for Trevor Keegan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 210
They talked themselves into Drake Nugent at pick 176, and the board did not agree. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 188
A quiet steal in the 202nd pick: Cornelius Johnson for less than the market said. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
By-the-book stuff, Frank Gore Jr. at the 219th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
Josh Proctor in No. 245 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 288
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Taulia Tagovailoa well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
