Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Jalen Coker got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 245th overall pick.

They are betting Allen proves the room right and everyone else wrong. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get a potential shutdown corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 34
Jordan Morgan at pick 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 45
The board had Keon Coleman higher than No. 58, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in slot 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 113
This one needs a full-page explanation: Braelon Allen in the 91st pick, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 110
DeWayne Carter at pick No. 126 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 150
They robbed the room for Luke McCaffrey here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 207
They took Nathaniel Watson at par in Round 6, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 233
They went early on Ryan Watts in the 219th overall pick, and the value did not follow. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 211
The board fumbled Jalen Coker all the way to slot 245, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 251
A tidy little value on Michael Barrett in the Round 7 slot, a step better than break-even. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
