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
They paid sticker price for Cooper DeJean in slot 25, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
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.
Payton Wilson in No. 58 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Malik Mustapha at No. 133 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A minor itch, scratched.
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.
AJ Barner at slot 172 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
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.
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.
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.
They robbed the room for Ryan Flournoy here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. The roster fit checks out.
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.
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.
