Future B-

When a board-topper like Jaheim Bell slides to pick No. 197, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

They will need Jones to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 29
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 28 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 38
Good price on T.J. Tampa in the 41st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in No. 57; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Javon Bullard in pick 88 leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 3 slot on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
Bucky Irving at the 125th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Malik Mustapha adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
R5.29 · Pick 165 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 123
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in Round 5, Pick 29, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 140
Jaheim Bell in pick No. 197 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
They did well to land Christian Jones in No. 203, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 234
They paid up for Trevor Keegan at slot 217 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
Matthew Jones at the 219th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
The board had cheaper options than Dwight McGlothern at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
