The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Jacob Cowing slide 46 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They are betting Catalon proves the room right and everyone else wrong. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Laiatu Latu · DL-EDGE · rank 12
In pick No. 15 they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 33
Taliese Fuaga in pick 39 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 43
No edge and no loss on Amarius Mims in Round 2, Pick 10; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 49
Calen Bullock in No. 48 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 61
Mekhi Wingo at slot 71 is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 70
They did well to land Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 75
Nothing to complain about; Zak Zinter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Tory Horton · WR · rank 90
The board had Tory Horton higher than the 107th pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cameron Ward · QB · rank 137
By-the-book stuff, Cameron Ward at pick No. 135 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Jamari Thrash · WR · rank 134
Good price on Jamari Thrash in the Round 5 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.10 · Pick 185 · Jalen Catalon · DB · rank 201
They jumped the gun on Jalen Catalon, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 184
Andrew Raym at the 188th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Zy Alexander · CB · rank 208
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Zy Alexander in No. 217. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 173
They will replay Jacob Cowing at Round 6, Pick 44 for years; that is how good the value is. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Jalen Milroe · QB · rank 235
Jalen Milroe at slot 228 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
