When a board-topper like DJ James slides to pick No. 88, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. The bottom line is a respectable B.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Davis has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 41st pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Jer'Zhan Newton · DL · rank 13
Jer'Zhan Newton in pick 42 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
A reasonable price with a little left over, Junior Colson in pick No. 58. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Renardo Green · S · rank 76
A premium they did not need to pay, Renardo Green a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · DJ James · CB · rank 53
You do not let a cornerback like DJ James reach Round 3, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
Ray Davis in slot 91 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
They paid a round early for Jarrian Jones in No. 126, more than the board wanted. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
Trevor Keegan at the 169th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 179
They robbed the room for Jha'Quan Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 231
Eric Watts at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 247
Jalen Sundell in Round 7, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 229
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to No. 255, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
