The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Kamren Kinchens fell into pick No. 88.

With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.

The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Marvin Harrison Jr. · WR · rank 1
In pick No. 25 they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
Quinyon Mitchell at pick 41 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
Circle this one: Tyler Nubin at No. 57 is a fall that decides a draft. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A curious use of the 88th overall pick. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Kamren Kinchens did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 90
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in the 91st pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 115
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyrice Knight at Round 4, Pick 25. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
Christian Jones at slot 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Matthew Jones. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Emani Bailey · RB · rank 188
Emani Bailey in Round 6, Pick 44 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
Dwight McGlothern at slot 246 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
