Good, not great, for the Packers: B-. Nobody had Jamaree Caldwell this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 75 spots to get him at pick 257.
They banked enough surplus on Colby to cover a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at Round 2, Pick 23 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57
Rnd2
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at the 57th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They took Jayden Higgins at par in pick No. 74, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch in the 87th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick110
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at No. 110 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
A slide stopped in slot 123, with Smael Mondon Jr. worth more than the price. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick124
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They paid sticker price for Darius Alexander in No. 124, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick147
Rnd5
Cody Simon
A tidy bit of business in pick 147, where Cody Simon graded well above the range. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Fair-plus on Logan Brown, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Kyle McCord
Circle this one: Kyle McCord at the 160th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick200
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They let Dont'e Thornton Jr. come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 22. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick239
Rnd7
Brandon Adams
Brandon Adams at the 239th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick251
Rnd7
Connor Colby
Connor Colby in pick No. 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick253
Rnd7
Cobee Bryant
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 253 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser in the 254th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
They talked themselves into Nohl Williams at the Round 7 slot, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick256
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at the 256th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
Jamaree Caldwell at pick No. 257 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
