Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Packers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 25
In slot 29 they get a ballhawk on the back end at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Kalen King · CB · rank 49
Kalen King in pick 51 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.23 · Pick 55 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 51
A tidy little value on Kris Jenkins in pick No. 55, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.29 · Pick 61 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 63
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jackson Powers-Johnson. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 78
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 90
A straight-up fair deal on Marist Liufau at the 92nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Tykee Smith while clear needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 112
Cooper Beebe in No. 119 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.22 · Pick 122 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 119
A curious use of pick No. 122. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Cedric Gray did not.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 127
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent slot 123 on Jaden Hicks, a safety they were not short of.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 132
They took Nehemiah Pritchett at par in the 129th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 145
A reach for Dylan Laube in pick 135; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
