The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Jaxson Dart slide 94 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
For all the activity, running back went untouched, which is hard to explain. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Circle this one: Princely Umanmielen at pick No. 45 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Tyleik Williams in the Round 2 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in slot 104, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malachi Moore at No. 115. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Jonah Monheim at pick 147 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
You do not let a quarterback like Jaxson Dart reach the 167th overall pick and blink. They did not. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Jack Kiser at Round 6, Pick 19 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the 200th pick is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Zy Alexander in No. 211, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
