Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Xavier Nwankpa, the No. 39 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 3 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B+ for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Cypress II reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · JT Tuimoloau · DE-EDGE · rank 24
In the 30th pick they get a quarterback's worst nightmare at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Walter Nolen · DT · rank 38
They robbed the room for Walter Nolen here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.23 · Pick 87 · Trevor Etienne · RB · rank 76
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trevor Etienne at pick 87. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.24 · Pick 88 · J. Michael Sturdivant · WR · rank 96
They paid up for J. Michael Sturdivant at pick No. 88 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.27 · Pick 91 · Dasan McCullough · LB · rank 97
They took Dasan McCullough at par in No. 91, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Xavier Nwankpa · S · rank 39
Xavier Nwankpa in the Round 3 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R4.23 · Pick 119 · Jaxson Dart · QB · rank 108
Jaxson Dart at Round 4, Pick 23 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.27 · Pick 123 · Sonny Styles · S · rank 89
Circle this one: Sonny Styles at slot 123 is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R4.30 · Pick 126 · Nicholas Singleton · RB · rank 92
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Nicholas Singleton in the Round 4 slot, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.23 · Pick 151 · Jonah Monheim · OT · rank 157
No drama and no debate, Jonah Monheim went about where he belonged in No. 151. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.30 · Pick 158 · Rylie Mills · DT · rank 133
Rylie Mills at slot 158 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.23 · Pick 183 · Tyler Baron · DE-EDGE · rank 187
No edge and no loss on Tyler Baron in the 183rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.23 · Pick 215 · Fentrell Cypress II · CB · rank 238
Fentrell Cypress II in pick 215 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.30 · Pick 222 · CJ Dippre · TE · rank 239
They went early on CJ Dippre in Round 7, Pick 30, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
