The Myles Cole pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 47 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 26 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the 47th overall pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
T.J. Tampa at slot 58 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in pick 59, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in No. 79, more than the board wanted. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Braelon Allen at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Johnny Wilson at Round 4, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
They talked themselves into Myles Cole at the 150th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
