The Frank Gore Jr. pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 24 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. That is a cornerback worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
Cooper DeJean in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
They paid sticker price for Javon Bullard in pick 41, and that is fine. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Nice patience on Max Melton, who had no business lasting to Round 3, Pick 25. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in slot 126. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.29 · Pick 129 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at No. 129, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
Tanor Bortolini at slot 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
Value said wait; Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 27 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
A tidy little value on Garret Greenfield in pick 219, a step better than break-even. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
Jordan Magee at pick No. 232 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
A slide stopped in No. 245, with Trevin Wallace worth more than the price. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Austin Reed · QB · rank 274
They reached a country mile for Austin Reed at the 255th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
