Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Matthew Jones. He came off 25 spots early, and the room will hear about it. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

It is not that Kinchens is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. On value alone, Davis makes the weekend a net positive.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 29
In slot 30 they get a downhill hitter at safety at fair value.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Kamren Kinchens at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
Brenden Rice is a better player than Round 3, Pick 25 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 77
A quiet steal in No. 91: Christian Haynes for less than the market said. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Marist Liufau, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on MarShawn Lloyd. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
By-the-book stuff, Cam Hart at the 135th pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 184
Isaiah Davis at slot 203 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
Matthew Jones in pick 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
A slide stopped in Round 6, Pick 44, with Jawhar Jordan worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 234
Trevor Keegan at pick No. 220 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
They paid a round early for Dwight McGlothern in No. 246, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
