Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers.

The rest of the league had time to spare on Frank Gore Jr.; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 57 spots ahead at the 197th overall pick. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

The Nelson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick19 Rnd1 JC Latham
JC Latham in pick 19 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick40 Rnd2 Emeka Egbuka
Emeka Egbuka in slot 40 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56 Rnd2 Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 56th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83 Rnd3 Rod Moore
By-the-book stuff, Rod Moore at pick No. 83 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 McKinnley Jackson
McKinnley Jackson at Round 3, Pick 25 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the interior defensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick94 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick135 Rnd4 Payton Wilson
A reach on Payton Wilson in the 135th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick197 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 6 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick208 Rnd6 Kaimon Rucker
A premium they did not need to pay, Kaimon Rucker a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson at Round 6, Pick 42 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick240 Rnd7 Phil Jurkovec
Phil Jurkovec at slot 240 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
