There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Sam Hartman a full 38 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. It is not that Cooper is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

They banked enough surplus on Jones to cover a lot of smaller sins. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
