Call it larceny. Cam Ward sat on the board until No. 151, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
Leaving cornerback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Dippre pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but cornerback.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 23 they get a double-digit-sack hope. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Parker Brailsford at slot 63 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A tidy bit of business in the 87th pick, where Trevor Etienne graded well above the range. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
The board had Shilo Sanders higher than pick No. 94, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Wyatt Milum at Round 4, Pick 28 is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cam Ward in the Round 5 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A premium they did not need to pay, Theo Wease Jr. a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Alfred Collins at the 188th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Hunter Wohler at the 212th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Thor Griffith in the 214th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Good price on Jack Kiser in Round 7, Pick 23, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A conviction pick on CJ Dippre at pick 222 that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
