Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent Round 6, Pick 27 on Donovan Jennings, a name the board had a full 36 spots lower.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Magee. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The trade work was a quiet net positive. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 29
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Fair-plus on Javon Bullard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 58
Payton Wilson in pick No. 58 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 81
A clean, defensible pick in No. 88 with a little surplus value in Kris Abrams-Draine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in the 91st pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
They paid up for Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
Mohamed Kamara at pick 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
A reach for Khristian Boyd in the 169th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Donovan Jennings · OT · rank 238
They reached into another round for Donovan Jennings, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevin Wallace in pick No. 212, miles early. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 252
They left a pile of value on the table to take Kimani Vidal this early at No. 219. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 220
Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 260
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ryan Watts. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
