The Packers won the night they stopped Simpson from sliding. Grade: B. The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jaylin Simpson, the No. 158 name on the board, in No. 202. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Briggs pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The trade work was a quiet net positive. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In the 25th overall pick they get an island corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41
Rnd2
Junior Colson
No edge and no loss on Junior Colson in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in Round 2, Pick 26. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They took Dominick Puni at par in No. 88, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick100
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
They liked Mohamed Kamara enough to skip the value, taking him in the 100th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They robbed the room for Ben Sinnott here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick152
Rnd5
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in the Round 5 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A straight-up fair deal on Tanor Bortolini at pick 153, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
A conviction pick on Jordan Travis at No. 169 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
They will replay Jaylin Simpson at the 202nd pick for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
They paid up for Trey Taylor at the 219th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick222
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at pick 222 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jowon Briggs in Round 7, Pick 25, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
They barely believed it either: Ryan Watts still on the board at slot 255. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
