Thirty-one other rooms let Daylen Everette slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at slot 120. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B.
They will need Tucker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
Anthony Hill Jr. at the 60th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They robbed the room for Christen Miller here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A need, and now a little less of one.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Mike Washington Jr. at Round 3, Pick 23 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Dontay Corleone reach the Round 3 slot and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No edge and no loss on Bryce Lance in No. 94; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Daylen Everette in the 120th pick, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid sticker price for Joe Royer in slot 125, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Harold Perkins Jr. at pick 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hezekiah Masses. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A real head-scratcher, Nadame Tucker in the Round 4 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Oscar Delp at pick No. 138 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
J.C. Davis in the 139th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They jumped the gun on Kaleb Elarms-Orr, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Keagen Trost in No. 167 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
They paid up for DJ Campbell at the 168th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A wild overpay on Isaiah Jatta in Round 6, Pick 20, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Diego Pavia at the 220th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Trey Zuhn III went about where he belonged in No. 236. The roster fit checks out.
A quiet steal in pick 255: Desmond Reid for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
