The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Jack Westover at the 256th overall pick, roughly 64 spots before his name belonged. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They banked enough surplus on Bishop to cover a lot of smaller sins.
The Packers indulged a want in Gray while a need in interior defensive lineman stayed open. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through interior defensive lineman.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick50
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at the 50th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick53
Rnd2
T.J. Tampa
They took T.J. Tampa at par in pick No. 53, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kris Jenkins
A quiet steal in the 58th pick: Kris Jenkins for less than the market said. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
DJ James
They let DJ James come to them and pounced at No. 66. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright in slot 71 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green slipping to pick 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick90
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at slot 90 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 28 leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick105
Rnd4
Javon Foster
The board had cheaper options than Javon Foster at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at the 110th overall pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in pick 138, and that is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick140
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
A real head-scratcher, Hunter Nourzad in pick No. 140 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick162
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at No. 162 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick170
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They jumped the gun on Khristian Boyd, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick175
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in the 175th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick190
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cornelius Johnson. The roster fit checks out.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jase McClellan
Jase McClellan in the Round 6 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Value with a capital V on Trente Jones in Round 6, Pick 27, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick219
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Good price on Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 219, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
A straight-up fair deal on Jordan Whittington at No. 245, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at the 255th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jack Westover
Jack Westover in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick257
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor in Round 7, Pick 39 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
