Larceny in the Round 6 slot lands the Packers a C+, Phillips and all.

When a board-topper like Andru Phillips slides to the 219th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. A mixed bag that lands at C+.

It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.

The cost of the Colson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick27 Rnd1 Tyler Guyton
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, reach and all. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick57 Rnd2 Junior Colson
A big swing on Junior Colson at Round 2, Pick 25, well ahead of any board in the building. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88 Rnd3 Trey Benson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Benson at the 88th overall pick is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
By-the-book stuff, Javon Foster at pick 125 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick135 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A surprising call. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still to address, they spent pick No. 135 on Tommy Eichenberg, a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick203 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at slot 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Kingsley Eguakun
Kingsley Eguakun at Round 6, Pick 42 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
A cornerback of that caliber at the 219th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick246 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 246th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
