Nobody had Devin Leary this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 52 spots to get him at slot 255. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They banked enough surplus on Holker to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.26 · Pick 26 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
Graham Barton in slot 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 26, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
A reach on Ray Davis in the 97th overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 127
They liked Beaux Limmer enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
Roger Rosengarten at pick 126 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 150
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Dallin Holker in the 169th pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 189
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 27, where Tanor Bortolini graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 214
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in No. 219, just ahead of his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 234
Trevin Wallace in slot 245 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Devin Leary · QB · rank 307
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Leary in the 255th overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
