Thirty-one other rooms let Xavier Worthy slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at No. 91. Highway robbery.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A real need, handled.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
You do not let a cornerback like Kool-Aid McKinstry reach pick 58 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Jaden Hicks at No. 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
The board fumbled Xavier Worthy all the way to slot 91, and they scooped it up. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Isaac Guerendo at pick No. 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They robbed the room for Mason McCormick here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No edge and no loss on Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jordan Magee in pick 219 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Value with a capital V on Tylan Grable in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Edefuan Ulofoshio at slot 255 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
