Nobody had Bryce Foster this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 59 spots to get him at slot 201.

Landing Igbinosun that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

So much rides on Caleb Tiernan that the real verdict is a season or two away.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.20 · Pick 52 · Caleb Tiernan · OT · rank 57
No edge and no loss on Caleb Tiernan in the 52nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.8 · Pick 108 · Davison Igbinosun · CB · rank 80
Davison Igbinosun in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Brian Parker II · C · rank 110
Brian Parker II at pick No. 111 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Tacario Davis · CB · rank 111
They let Tacario Davis come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 20. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.13 · Pick 153 · Demond Claiborne · RB · rank 164
A reach on Demond Claiborne in the 153rd pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.20 · Pick 160 · Nate Boerkircher · TE · rank 163
Nate Boerkircher in pick 160 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.28 · Pick 168 · VJ Payne · S · rank 200
VJ Payne at No. 168 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.20 · Pick 201 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 260
They talked themselves into Bryce Foster at the 201st overall pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.20 · Pick 236 · Robert Spears-Jennings · S · rank 238
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Robert Spears-Jennings. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.39 · Pick 255 · Riley Mahlman · OT · rank 298
A wild overpay on Riley Mahlman in Round 7, Pick 39, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It fills a real need, too.
R7.41 · Pick 257 · J. Michael Sturdivant · WR · rank 282
This one needs a full-page explanation: J. Michael Sturdivant in pick No. 257, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
