Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent Round 2, Pick 20 on Aaron Graves, a name the board had a full 158 spots lower.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Elliott. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move.
Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.
Pick-by-Pick
They talked themselves into Aaron Graves at Round 2, Pick 20, and the board did not agree. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A big swing on Rayshaun Benny at No. 84, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
Steal is underselling it; Treydan Stukes at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kamari Ramsey in pick No. 120, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A real head-scratcher, Keagen Trost in slot 153 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaren Kanak well ahead of where he belonged. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They will replay Keyshaun Elliott at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Circle this one: Zavion Thomas at pick No. 255 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
