You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Darius Robinson in Round 3, Pick 35.

Spending an early pick on DT-EDGE with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 30
In slot 28 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick No. 47 squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
Edgerrin Cooper in the 50th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 63
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 68
Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 2 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 86
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in No. 80 leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots for later.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 80
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 106
A reach on Matt Goncalves in the 94th pick; the board had better options right there. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson at No. 98 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
Braelon Allen at slot 137 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
