Larceny in Round 2, Pick 25 lands the Packers a B, Franklin and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Troy Franklin at Round 2, Pick 25 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

Every board in the league had Richardson lower, and that gap is the story. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kool-Aid McKinstry
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick42 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
A quiet steal in pick No. 42: Tyler Nubin for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick57 Rnd2 Troy Franklin
The board fumbled Troy Franklin all the way to slot 57, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany is a better player than pick 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
Good price on McKinnley Jackson in No. 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick108 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
They paid a round early for Darius Robinson in the 108th pick, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick125 Rnd4 Javon Foster
They took Javon Foster at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jaylen Wright this early at the 135th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper at pick No. 160 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick161 Rnd5 Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis in slot 161 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick217 Rnd6 J.J. Weaver
The board had cheaper options than J.J. Weaver at the 217th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick219 Rnd6 Demani Richardson
They talked themselves into Demani Richardson at Round 6, Pick 44, and the board did not agree. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
