You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Trey Taylor at Round 6, Pick 41, roughly 50 spots before his name belonged.

The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. However the rest shakes out, Bullard at that price is a win they earned.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.18 · Pick 50 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 36
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 50th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
No edge and no loss on Edgerrin Cooper in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 61
Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 28 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
T'Vondre Sweat at pick 64 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 63
A quiet steal in pick No. 79: Javon Bullard for less than the market said. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 84
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Marist Liufau in the 88th pick leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Nothing to complain about; Zak Zinter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick 99 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 124
Jarrian Jones at slot 116 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 122
Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 4 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 156
They paid up for McCallan Castles at the 148th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
A slide stopped in the 168th pick, with Braelon Allen worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.39 · Pick 175 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 192
Ethan Driskell in Round 5, Pick 39 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 197
A tidy little value on Josh Proctor in No. 204, a step better than break-even. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
