The Packers went off the board in a big way for Xavier Thomas, 29 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Jones.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 15
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
They left a pile of value on the table to take Edgerrin Cooper this early at Round 2, Pick 9. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
Javon Bullard in slot 57 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to take Junior Colson, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
A slide stopped in pick No. 91, with Christian Mahogany worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 129
No drama and no debate, Will Shipley went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 127
A curious use of slot 135. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Cole Bishop did not.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 190
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 28. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 246
A wild overpay on Xavier Thomas in the 217th 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.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 241
Zion Logue at pick No. 219 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 249
Dwight McGlothern in No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
