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
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 41 with a little surplus value in Jordan Morgan. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 58 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
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.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaden Hicks in No. 91. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They reached into another round for Trevin Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
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.
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.
Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 44 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
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.
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.
