The rest of the league had time to spare on Kyle Hergel; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 88 spots ahead at Round 7, Pick 36.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Flournoy. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
They paid sticker price for Cooper DeJean in slot 25, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
A straight-up fair deal on T'Vondre Sweat at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson in No. 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
They read the board right and Max Melton was the payoff at pick No. 88. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
They left a pile of value on the table to take Beaux Limmer this early at pick 105. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
No edge and no loss on Ray Davis in the 110th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
A conviction pick on Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 26 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 159
Hunter Nourzad at the 131st pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at No. 133 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Value said wait; Joe Milton III in pick No. 171 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 171
AJ Barner at slot 172 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Walter Rouse in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
A tidy bit of business in pick 219, where Jaylan Ford graded well above the range. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
Edefuan Ulofoshio is a better player than the 245th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 204
They robbed the room for Ryan Flournoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Kyle Hergel · OG · rank 344
A big swing on Kyle Hergel at No. 256, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
A tidy little value on Kimani Vidal in pick 257, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
