The Packers treated their own grade as gospel and everyone else's as noise, spending the 255th pick on Noah Thomas a full 103 spots early. For now it grades a C+, with the swing picks left to settle the rest.
That Golday pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
They were the ones paying the moving tax this weekend.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick-by-Pick
They took Malachi Lawrence at par in pick 52, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Nice patience on Daylen Everette, who had no business lasting to No. 91. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Brian Parker II at slot 120. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Jake Golday at the 126th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Albert Regis. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kage Casey in the 170th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Ephesians Prysock at pick No. 201 is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No drama and no debate, John Michael Gyllenborg went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 20. It fills a real need, too.
They reached into another round for Noah Thomas, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Adam Randall at the 256th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
