The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 41 spots for Trey Taylor, and value like that does not grow back.
Landing Magee that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
A reach on Junior Colson in pick No. 41; the board had better options right there. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They took Zach Frazier at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A tidy bit of business in slot 91, where Mike Sainristil graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A real head-scratcher, Beaux Limmer in the 105th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
By-the-book stuff, Ray Davis at No. 110 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Fair-plus on Theo Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board had Kitan Oladapo higher than slot 169, and the safety fell to them anyway. A minor itch, scratched.
A tidy little value on Trente Jones in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Sam Hartman at pick 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Somehow Jordan Magee was still sitting there in the 245th overall pick, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
The board had cheaper options than Matthew Jones at the 253rd pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Value with a capital V on Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 255, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
