More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Dwight McGlothern, taking him 38 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

Getting Rice where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Liufau pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and tight end still on the board.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a sticky cover corner, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 31
Tyler Nubin at pick 41 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 76
A big swing on Junior Colson at pick No. 57, well ahead of any board in the building. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
No drama and no debate, McKinnley Jackson went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Marist Liufau, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
Brenden Rice at the 91st pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The roster fit checks out.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · James Williams · S · rank 134
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with quarterback and tight end open.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
Jaylen Wright in pick No. 135 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
A straight-up fair deal on Jawhar Jordan at No. 203, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 214
A tidy little value on Myles Jones in pick 217, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 257
They reached a country mile for Dwight McGlothern at slot 219, and the board is aghast. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 255
A reach for Xavier Thomas in the 246th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
