The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Josiah Ezirim went at the Round 7 slot, a good 36 picks before the board was ready.
The Puni value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tyler Guyton at pick 41 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Edgerrin Cooper at the 58th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Good price on Jaden Hicks in pick No. 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 16 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Tommy Eichenberg at slot 169 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Mustapha at the 171st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Joe Milton III at No. 172 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Khristian Boyd in the 202nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A premium they did not need to pay, Frank Gore Jr. a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A conviction pick on Trey Taylor at pick 245 that the board grades a round light. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
They reached a country mile for Josiah Ezirim at pick No. 255, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
