The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a A-. If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Sean Martin at pick 242 is 69 spots clear of where he belonged. Add it all up and it grades out a clean A-.
The Williams pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.
In the end it comes back to Amarius Mims, and a haul good enough to build on right away.
Pick Analysis
Pick27
Rnd1
JC Latham
In No. 27 they get a building block for the line at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In pick No. 30 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick44
Rnd2
Kamari Lassiter
They let Kamari Lassiter come to them and pounced at slot 44. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick51
Rnd2
Keon Coleman
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at the 51st pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Emeka Egbuka
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Emeka Egbuka in the 58th overall pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick71
Rnd3
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. at pick 71 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick83
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
The board had Jonathon Brooks higher than No. 83, and the running back fell to them anyway. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick119
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at the 119th overall pick is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick121
Rnd4
Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron in pick 121 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
They read the board right and Cedric Gray was the payoff at Round 4, Pick 27. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick135
Rnd4
Max Melton
Taking Max Melton in the Round 4 slot is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd5
Ray Davis
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Ray Davis in pick No. 137. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139
Rnd5
Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson in the 139th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick157
Rnd5
James Williams
They will replay James Williams at slot 157 for years; that is how good the value is. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
A slide stopped in pick 158, with Jordan Travis worth more than the price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith in slot 175 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick178
Rnd6
LaDarius Henderson
A quiet steal in the 178th overall pick: LaDarius Henderson for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick197
Rnd6
Zion Logue
Zion Logue in the 197th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Circle this one: Joshua Gray at Round 6, Pick 42 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tatum Bethune
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tatum Bethune at the Round 6 slot. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jayson Jones
They reached a country mile for Jayson Jones at pick No. 240, and the board is aghast. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick242
Rnd7
Sean Martin
A big swing on Sean Martin at No. 242, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
