When a board-topper like Cornelius Johnson slides to the Round 6 slot, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

The Taylor-Demerson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback and interior defensive lineman still on the board. Glaze has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.4 · Pick 36 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 37
They took Darius Robinson at par in pick No. 36, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 43
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 60
Javon Bullard in slot 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 62
Fair-plus on Christian Haynes, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 83
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick 88 leaves quarterback and interior defensive lineman for later.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · DJ James · CB · rank 87
A tidy little value on DJ James in No. 91, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 97
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brenden Rice at the 112th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · James Williams · S · rank 120
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending Round 4, Pick 27 on James Williams with quarterback and interior defensive lineman unsolved.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 134
They did well to land Nehemiah Pritchett in No. 138, just ahead of his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 183
A conviction pick on Delmar Glaze at the 168th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Layden Robinson · OG · rank 174
Nice patience on Layden Robinson, who had no business lasting to the 187th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 205
Daijun Edwards in Round 6, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 187
Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 216
Somehow Tyrice Knight was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 237
The board had Trey Knox higher than slot 251, and the tight end fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
