The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Dallas Gant, taking him 76 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In pick No. 27 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.24 · Pick 56 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in No. 56, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 62
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zach Frazier. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.24 · Pick 87 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
A straight-up fair deal on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 87th pick, value and slot in agreement. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 26: Elijah Jones for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in pick No. 169, a genuine coup. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R5.38 · Pick 174 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha in slot 174 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 168
They barely believed it either: Kamal Hadden still on the board at pick 186. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III at No. 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
Somehow Trente Jones was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 321
Dallas Gant in the 245th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
Tyler Owens in the 255th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
