Of all the ways to open, the Packers chose the head-scratcher, spending Round 2, Pick 25 on Javon Bullard with quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots still wide open.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. On value alone, Wilson makes the weekend a net positive. Allen has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 25
In slot 25 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 26
Troy Franklin in slot 41 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
A surprising call. With quarterback, offensive lineman and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 57 on Javon Bullard, a safety they were not short of.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
A quiet steal in the Round 3 slot: Junior Colson for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Johnny Wilson at the 92nd overall pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 132
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in Round 4, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
A reach on Braelon Allen in No. 135; the board had better options right there. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 196
Fair-plus on Jared Wiley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · J.J. Weaver · LB-EDGE · rank 219
J.J. Weaver in the 217th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 209
Jase McClellan at Round 6, Pick 44 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
They took Dwight McGlothern at par in the 246th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
