The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Myles Cole, taking him 65 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Smith pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback, tight end and other spots.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.3 · Pick 35 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
Darius Robinson at pick 35 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 50
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in pick No. 47; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 49
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at Round 2, Pick 17 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
They took Kingsley Suamataia at par in the 58th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 60
Javon Bullard at slot 60 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
Patrick Paul in No. 74 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 79
They paid sticker price for Jaylen Wright in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
Trey Benson in the 88th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 90
Fair-plus on Marshawn Kneeland, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 107
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in the 99th pick leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 109
A conviction pick on Braelon Allen at Round 4, Pick 1 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 124
A reach on Beaux Limmer in pick 110; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 128
They liked Johnny Wilson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 115. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 121
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Foster at No. 123, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R5.22 · Pick 158 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 223
A wild overpay on Myles Cole in the 158th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
