If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. It is not that Bishop is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

They will need Benson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In the 28th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
They took Darius Robinson at par in the 37th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Javon Bullard at pick 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in pick No. 49; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
No drama and no debate, T.J. Tampa went about where he belonged in slot 51. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Kingsley Suamataia at No. 52 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 62
Zach Frazier in Round 2, Pick 21 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.6 · Pick 70 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Patrick Paul. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Trey Benson at slot 73 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Cole Bishop at safety with quarterback and tight end open.
R4.6 · Pick 106 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
Braelon Allen in No. 106 is fair value, right on his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
Maason Smith at the 107th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.21 · Pick 121 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A straight-up fair deal on Johnny Wilson at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
