The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Nadame Tucker went at No. 120, a good 54 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
On value alone, Lew makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
A tidy bit of business in the Round 2 slot, where Lee Hunter graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Circle this one: Dontay Corleone at the 95th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Somehow Connor Lew was still sitting there in Round 4, Pick 18, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A need, and now a little less of one.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nadame Tucker. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Malik Muhammad at slot 125 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They did well to land Justin Joly in the 128th pick, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
By-the-book stuff, Zxavian Harris at No. 157 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A quiet steal in slot 160: Isaiah World for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A reach on Red Murdock in the 181st overall pick; the board had better options right there. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
The board had Ephesians Prysock higher than the Round 6 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A wild overpay on Adam Randall in pick 236, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A tidy little value on Alan Herron in Round 7, Pick 39, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
