The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-.

The rest of the league had time to spare on John Emery Jr.; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 115 spots ahead at the 251st overall pick.

The Smith pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at slot 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins slipping to pick 57 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot, miles early. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Fair-plus on McKinnley Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent No. 126 on Tykee Smith, a safety they were not short of.
Pick168 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
Dylan Laube at pick 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203 Rnd6 Darius Muasau
A real head-scratcher, Darius Muasau in the 203rd overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick216 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They paid up for Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 216 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
They took Daequan Hardy at par in Round 7, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251 Rnd7 John Emery Jr.
Value said wait; John Emery Jr. in slot 251 says they were not listening. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
