The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Jones pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

The Carter pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 32
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick No. 43 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Graham Barton at slot 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Brenden Rice in the 88th pick. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 82
A tidy bit of business in No. 91, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
DeWayne Carter at pick 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 191
A quiet steal in the Round 6 slot: Kimani Vidal for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Value with a capital V on Jawhar Jordan in slot 217, a genuine coup. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at pick No. 219. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nathaniel Watson in pick 244 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 251
Eric Gentry at Round 7, Pick 26 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
