The rest of the league had time to spare on Dwight McGlothern; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 54 spots ahead at the 203rd pick. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.

However the rest shakes out, Nubin at that price is a win they earned. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
In the 25th overall pick they get an enforcer at safety, though they paid up to get him. More want than need.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 9 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 29
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Tyler Nubin at safety with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
Darius Robinson in No. 88 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 77
Christian Haynes slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
Braelon Allen at pick No. 125 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick No. 135, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.31 · Pick 167 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 197
They reached into another round for Christian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
Dwight McGlothern in the 203rd overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Jawhar Jordan at slot 217 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
They reached a country mile for Tatum Bethune at No. 219, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 258
They liked Walter Rouse enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Demani Richardson · S · rank 246
Demani Richardson in pick 251 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
