A respectable, level-headed haul for the Packers: B-.

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick 125 on Jaylen Wright, a name the board had a full 29 spots lower.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on Speights to cover a lot of smaller sins.

Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jared Verse
In pick 25 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 9 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper in No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
A tidy little value on Mike Sainristil in the 88th pick, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick91 Rnd3 Tyler Davis
No edge and no loss on Tyler Davis in pick No. 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick135 Rnd4 Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 28 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217 Rnd6 Omar Speights
The board had Omar Speights higher than pick 217, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick219 Rnd6 Sheridan Jones
Sheridan Jones in slot 219 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick246 Rnd7 Demani Richardson
They read the board right and Demani Richardson was the payoff at the 246th overall pick. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
