Nobody had Kedon Slovis this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 86 spots to get him at pick No. 219.

They banked enough surplus on Greenfield to cover a lot of smaller sins. Spending an early pick on linebacker with interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.10 · Pick 42 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
A tidy little value on Jordan Morgan in the 42nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaden Hicks in No. 58, miles early. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in slot 59, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. adds a linebacker and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Max Melton at pick 88 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Calen Bullock, a safety that was not the priority.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Value with a capital V on Trey Benson in pick 104, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Tip Reiman · TE · rank 182
A real head-scratcher, Tip Reiman in the 123rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Jones in pick No. 126. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 197
Myles Cole in the Round 5 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 217
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Javontae Jean-Baptiste. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 210
A reach on Drake Nugent in Round 6, Pick 27; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kedon Slovis · QB · rank 305
They talked themselves into Kedon Slovis at No. 219, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tayvion Robinson · WR · rank 232
Nice patience on Tayvion Robinson, who had no business lasting to the 245th pick. The roster fit checks out.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
The board fumbled Garret Greenfield all the way to pick 255, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
