Good, not great, for the Packers: B.

The Packers torched the value chart for Matthew Jones, taking him 23 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Packers indulged a want in Smith while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
In slot 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 47
Calen Bullock at pick No. 57 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 90
No drama and no debate, Sedrick Van Pran went about where he belonged in the 91st overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Tykee Smith, a safety that was not the priority.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at No. 125, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
MarShawn Lloyd in Round 4, Pick 30 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · James Williams · S · rank 134
A curious use of slot 135. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in James Williams did not.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 138
By-the-book stuff, Kamal Hadden at the 137th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 195
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing JD Bertrand in No. 203. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jawhar Jordan at the 217th pick is the proof. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
A real head-scratcher, Matthew Jones in pick No. 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
A reach for Dwight McGlothern in the Round 7 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 239
A quiet steal in pick 251: Joshua Cephus for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
