The Packers did not so much draft Darius Robinson as overpay for him, 33 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Bertrand at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. They bet on numbers rather than a single high pick.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 21
They did well to land Terrion Arnold in pick 25, just ahead of his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
Edgerrin Cooper at the 55th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 89
Sedrick Van Pran at Round 2, Pick 25 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
A conviction pick on Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
A big swing on Darius Robinson at No. 88, well ahead of any board in the building. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 97
They paid sticker price for Audric Estime in pick No. 91, and that is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 140
A reach for Kamal Hadden in the Round 4 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.20 · Pick 156 · Renardo Green · S · rank 153
Renardo Green in Round 5, Pick 20 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
A tidy little value on Jaylen Wright in the 168th pick, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in slot 203. The roster fit checks out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
A slide stopped in No. 216, with JD Bertrand worth more than the price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 260
A premium they did not need to pay, Matthew Jones a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
Isaac Guerendo in pick 251 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
