Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent the 121st pick on Braelon Allen, a name the board had a full 34 spots lower.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
In the 28th overall pick they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
They took Tyler Guyton at par in pick 38, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at Round 2, Pick 12 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
They paid up for Edgerrin Cooper at No. 50 when waiting would have done the job. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
Trey Benson at the Round 2 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at the 60th pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 75
Johnny Wilson at pick 69 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went DT-EDGE with Maason Smith while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 94
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 88th overall pick on Cade Stover with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson in pick No. 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · James Williams · S · rank 134
A want over a need in the 119th pick: James Williams adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
Braelon Allen at No. 121 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
