Grand theft in Round 6, Pick 42: the Packers steal Jones and grade out a B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Christian Jones, the No. 190 name on the board, sitting there at the Round 6 slot like a gift left on the doorstep.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Terrion Arnold
In pick 25 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Amarius Mims
Amarius Mims in the 41st pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick57 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at Round 2, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88 Rnd3 Bucky Irving
Bucky Irving at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick92 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in pick No. 92, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125 Rnd4 James Williams
They took James Williams at par in slot 125, which is nothing to complain about. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135 Rnd4 Cam Hart
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in No. 135; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick203 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark is a better player than the 203rd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217 Rnd6 Christian Jones
Christian Jones at Round 6, Pick 42 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Omar Speights
You do not let a linebacker like Omar Speights reach the Round 6 slot and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick246 Rnd7 Matthew Jones
Matthew Jones in the 246th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
