Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Sam Hartman, the No. 231 name on the board, should have been long gone before the Round 7 slot. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
A tidy little value on Graham Barton in pick 57, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 80
Mike Sainristil slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
No edge and no loss on Bucky Irving in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 124
Jarrian Jones at No. 127 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 160
A quiet steal in the 168th overall pick: Edefuan Ulofoshio for less than the market said. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 186
Javon Baker slid further than he should have, and the 203rd pick is lovely value for the wide receiver. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
They read the board right and Christian Jones was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 241
Daequan Hardy at slot 243 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 231
Circle this one: Sam Hartman at pick No. 251 is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
