The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a C-. The Packers bet big and early on Jayden Ballard, 369 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right.
That Hunter pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The phones were where this weekend was really won. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.
They went 7 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick2
Rnd1
Markel Bell
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, though the board says they badly overpaid.
Pick16
Rnd1
Aaron Anderson
They reached a country mile for Aaron Anderson at No. 16, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick33
Rnd2
Harold Perkins Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Harold Perkins Jr. in pick No. 33, miles early. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick44
Rnd2
Will Kacmarek
Will Kacmarek at the 44th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick52
Rnd2
Christen Miller
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christen Miller. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jonah Coleman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jonah Coleman. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick60
Rnd2
Vinny Anthony II
Vinny Anthony II in Round 2, Pick 28 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick81
Rnd3
Isaiah Nwokobia
Isaiah Nwokobia at pick 81 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick84
Rnd3
Olaivavega Ioane
Taking Olaivavega Ioane in the 84th pick is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dijon Johnson
A real head-scratcher, Dijon Johnson in No. 88 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jaishawn Barham
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaishawn Barham this early at the 89th overall pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Jayden Ballard
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jayden Ballard well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Dontay Corleone
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Dontay Corleone reach the Round 4 slot and blink. They did not. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick127
Rnd4
Marcus Allen
Value said wait; Marcus Allen in slot 127 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140
Rnd4
Lee Hunter
Circle this one: Lee Hunter at Round 4, Pick 40 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
