The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Greenfield: B-.

Thirty-one other rooms let Garret Greenfield slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the 245th pick. Highway robbery.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. The cost of the Anderson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, running back and other spots went begging.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A reach for Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58 Rnd2 Sedrick Van Pran
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at pick 58 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at slot 88 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Renardo Green adds a safety and leaves quarterback, running back and other spots untouched.
Pick126 Rnd4 Elijah Jones
Nice patience on Elijah Jones, who had no business lasting to No. 126. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at Round 5, Pick 33 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick202 Rnd6 Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 202nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219 Rnd6 Ryan Flournoy
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ryan Flournoy in slot 219. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Taking Garret Greenfield in No. 245 is close to grand larceny; an offensive lineman that good had no business lasting this long. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255 Rnd7 Evan Anderson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Evan Anderson. The roster fit checks out.
