You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Dallas Gant in the Round 6 slot. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

Landing Mims that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. 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

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 23
In No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
They will replay Amarius Mims at the 52nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson in pick 59 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
No drama and no debate, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went about where he belonged in the 83rd overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at Round 3, Pick 28 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 122
They did well to land Theo Johnson in slot 126, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
They paid up for Jarrian Jones at No. 127 when waiting would have done the job. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
They took Tykee Smith at par in pick No. 155, which is nothing to complain about. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 174
Cody Schrader is a better player than the 188th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 321
A big swing on Dallas Gant at the 219th pick, well ahead of any board in the building. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Frank Crum · OT · rank 294
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Frank Crum. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Bub Means in the 247th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 235
Michael Barrett at the 255th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
