If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Braelon Allen at pick 134 is 25 spots clear of where he belonged. The bottom line is a respectable B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. It is not that Colson is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Rakestraw Jr..

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 33
They paid sticker price for Kamren Kinchens in the 31st pick, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in pick 50. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 36
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 51. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 52
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 68
They took Trey Benson at par in the 62nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 71
A surprising call. With quarterback, tight end and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 66 on Junior Colson, a linebacker they were not short of.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 74
Johnny Wilson at the 67th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 89
Sedrick Van Pran at No. 71 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 72
Blake Corum in slot 72 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 129
The board had cheaper options than Javon Foster at Round 4, Pick 15, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Justin Eboigbe · DL-EDGE · rank 125
Justin Eboigbe at the 117th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · James Williams · S · rank 135
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in pick 134, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
