Grand theft in pick 219: the Packers steal Johnson and grade out a B-.

The rest of the league will want that one back. Cornelius Johnson tumbling to the Packers in the 219th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

Laube has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick58 Rnd2 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at slot 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brandon Dorlus at the 88th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
They took Christian Mahogany at par in No. 91, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126 Rnd4 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at the 126th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169 Rnd5 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in pick 169 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick202 Rnd6 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield at the Round 6 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick219 Rnd6 Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson in No. 219 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Michael Barrett
They let Michael Barrett come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255 Rnd7 Austin Reed
This one needs a full-page explanation: Austin Reed in the 255th pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
