Larceny in Round 6, Pick 22 lands the Packers a B-, Shough and all.

Somebody in slot 198 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Tyler Shough, the No. 136 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

They are betting Travis proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Spending an early pick on linebacker with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jalon Walker
They took Jalon Walker at par in the 23rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
They paid sticker price for Azareye'h Thomas in pick 54, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick87 Rnd3 Cam Skattebo
The board had cheaper options than Cam Skattebo at pick No. 87, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124 Rnd4 Smael Mondon Jr.
A surprising call. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on Smael Mondon Jr., a linebacker they were not short of.
Pick159 Rnd5 Emery Jones Jr.
The board fumbled Emery Jones Jr. all the way to slot 159, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at the 198th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb in No. 237 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Jalen Travis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Travis this early at Round 7, Pick 34. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
