Priorities are a choice, and the Packers made a strange one, taking Sione Vaki at safety in pick No. 126 with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots crying out for the pick instead.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Cooper pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
In the Round 1 slot they get a centerfielder for the defense at fair value. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
Edgerrin Cooper at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the 57th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
They paid up for Marshawn Kneeland at the 88th pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Josh Newton · CB · rank 82
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Newton in slot 91. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 138
A curious use of pick No. 126. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Sione Vaki did not.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 169
LaDarius Henderson in No. 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
They took Christian Jones at par in Round 6, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 211
Jaylen Harrell in pick 216 lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 243
Blake Watson at the Round 7 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · BJ Mayes · CB · rank 247
Good price on BJ Mayes in the 251st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
