Some hits, some head-scratchers, and a C+ for the Packers.

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Jalen Coker, taking him 40 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Hit on Kingsley Suamataia and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
A big swing on Kingsley Suamataia at the 41st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Max Melton at No. 68 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.12 · Pick 76 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in slot 76 is miles ahead of his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 158
They talked themselves into Sione Vaki at pick No. 126, and the board did not agree. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 155
They reached a country mile for Isaiah Davis at the Round 4 slot, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 197
Myles Cole at No. 169 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.18 · Pick 193 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
Nice patience on Ty'Ron Hopper, who had no business lasting to the 193rd overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Jalen Coker · WR · rank 250
Jalen Coker at Round 6, Pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 262
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Taylor. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
