Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Nathan Thomas got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 243rd overall pick. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Bills lower, and that gap is the story.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In the 25th pick they get a premier pass rusher. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 73
The board had cheaper options than Kamren Kinchens at Round 2, Pick 26, and it noticed. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · DJ James · CB · rank 87
DJ James at pick No. 88 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 86
Blake Corum in No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 121
Javon Foster in the 127th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Fair-plus on Luke McCaffrey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 215
A reach for Josh Proctor in slot 204; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Keaton Bills · OG · rank 233
They jumped the gun on Keaton Bills, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 208
They robbed the room for Nathan Thomas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 228
Tyler Owens in slot 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
