The needs board said one thing and the Packers did another, using the 91st pick on Beau Brade while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots waited.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. If Capehart pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Speights value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 31
In pick No. 25 they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 40
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 9; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 106
Marshawn Kneeland at pick 88 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Beau Brade · S · rank 110
A curious use of the 91st overall pick. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Beau Brade did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 121
Fair-plus on Jarrian Jones, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 144
They jumped the gun on Drake Nugent, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jalen Berger · RB · rank 199
Jalen Berger at slot 203 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 226
Trevor Keegan in the 217th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 201
Somehow Omar Speights was still sitting there in the 219th pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 266
A swing that ignored the value entirely, DeMonte Capehart well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
