Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Amarius Mims, the No. 22 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 41. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They will need Benson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In the 25th overall pick they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
Somehow Amarius Mims was still sitting there in slot 41, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 58th pick, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 97
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in pick 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
A tidy little value on McKinnley Jackson in No. 127, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
They will replay Jarrian Jones at pick No. 168 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 211
A straight-up fair deal on JD Bertrand at Round 6, Pick 29, value and slot in agreement. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 223
They took Myles Cole at par in pick 216, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
