The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Clark Barrington at Round 7, Pick 25 regardless, 105 picks early.

The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, McGlothern at that price is a win they earned.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Javon Bullard in No. 51. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 26. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
They took Dominick Puni at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jaden Hicks adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 91 is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 133
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in the 126th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tykee Smith at the Round 5 slot. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
A slide stopped in slot 178, with Dwight McGlothern worth more than the price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 213
A conviction pick on Nathaniel Watson at pick 202 that the board grades a round light. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
The board had cheaper options than Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 219, and it noticed. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Clark Barrington · C · rank 350
Value said wait; Clark Barrington in pick No. 245 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Bub Means in the 255th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
