Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Josiah Ezirim. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Reiman value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
Darius Robinson at the 41st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.16 · Pick 80 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
Jaylen Wright slid further than he should have, and pick No. 80 is lovely value for the running back. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
Mike Sainristil in the 88th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Good price on Dominick Puni in slot 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
DeWayne Carter at pick 93 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Ray Davis · RB · rank 109
A reach on Ray Davis in slot 97; the board had better options right there. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray at the 115th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 127
No drama and no debate, Beaux Limmer went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
They took Malik Mustapha at par in pick No. 169, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tip Reiman · TE · rank 183
Steal is underselling it; Tip Reiman at the 202nd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.39 · Pick 214 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 201
They read the board right and Joe Milton III was the payoff at No. 214. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 206
Jaylan Ford at pick 219 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josiah Ezirim · OL · rank 292
Josiah Ezirim at Round 7, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 247
Jalen Sundell at pick 255 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
