Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

They banked enough surplus on Johnson to cover a lot of smaller sins. The cost of the Van Pran reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
In pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
No edge and no loss on T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 72
They paid up for Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 58 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in No. 88, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 92
Gabriel Murphy at slot 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
Elijah Jones at the 114th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
Isaac Guerendo at the 116th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
No drama and no debate, James Williams went about where he belonged in Round 4, Pick 26. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha in pick 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 186
Value with a capital V on Cornelius Johnson in the 202nd overall pick, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 221
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kalen DeLoach · S · rank 247
By-the-book stuff, Kalen DeLoach at Round 7, Pick 25 squarely in line with his ranking. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jordan Whittington · WR · rank 248
Jordan Whittington at the Round 7 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
