It is a puzzling start. The Packers had quarterback, wide receiver and other spots to solve and reached instead for Cole Bishop, a safety, at pick 135. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Watson has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 31
In pick No. 25 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at slot 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 63
Adisa Isaac at No. 57 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
Christian Mahogany at pick No. 88 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Bucky Irving. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 126
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in the 125th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 127
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Cole Bishop, a safety they were not short of.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 202
By-the-book stuff, Jawhar Jordan at the 203rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jaden Crumedy · DT-EDGE · rank 225
Jaden Crumedy in Round 6, Pick 42 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 231
Nathaniel Watson at No. 219 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 248
Walter Rouse in the 246th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
