Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The John Emery Jr. pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 96 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Getting Wilson where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Nate Wiggins
Nate Wiggins at No. 25 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick41 Rnd2 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at the 41st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick57 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick88 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Value with a capital V on Johnny Wilson in Round 3, Pick 28, a genuine coup. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
No edge and no loss on Javon Foster in the 125th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 4, Pick 35 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Gabe Hall
They took Gabe Hall at par in the 203rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Nathaniel Watson this early at the 217th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219 Rnd6 Evan Williams
Evan Williams at No. 219 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick246 Rnd7 John Emery Jr.
A big swing on John Emery Jr. at pick No. 246, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
