There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Tommy Eichenberg, 19 picks ahead of schedule.

That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Ford pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
No edge and no loss on Cooper DeJean in Round 1, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
They did well to land Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
A quiet steal in the 58th pick: Kris Jenkins for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni in pick 92 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in pick No. 125. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tommy Eichenberg this early at pick No. 126. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at pick 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
By-the-book stuff, Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 27 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
The board had Jaylan Ford higher than the 219th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell in the 245th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 268
A conviction pick on Trey Taylor at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
