Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Troy Fautanu got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick 41.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Reaching for Bortolini left real value on the table behind him.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 24
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
Troy Fautanu at No. 41 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson in the 58th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
Braelon Allen in Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
They did well to land Javon Foster in pick No. 126, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 188
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in pick 202. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Eric Watts · DL-EDGE · rank 230
They paid a round early for Eric Watts in Round 6, Pick 44, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
They took Josh Proctor at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Bub Means at the 255th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
