The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Trevin Wallace went at pick No. 126, a good 107 picks before the board was ready.

Williams at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
A clean, defensible pick in slot 41 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 58 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaden Hicks in No. 91. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
They reached into another round for Trevin Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
Somehow Javon Foster was still sitting there in pick 169, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
They robbed the room for James Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 44 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
A straight-up fair deal on Josh Proctor at the Round 7 slot, value and slot in agreement. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Nick Gargiulo · C · rank 281
This one needs a full-page explanation: Nick Gargiulo in No. 255, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
