When a board-topper like Sheridan Jones slides to No. 255, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.
The Cole pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 9 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Kiran Amegadjie at slot 58 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Max Melton at pick No. 88. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They paid a round early for Cole Bishop in the 91st pick, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They paid up for Roger Rosengarten at No. 126 when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Cole this early at the 169th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
No drama and no debate, Julian Pearl went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in pick No. 219; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Tylan Grable slipping to Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They barely believed it either: Sheridan Jones still on the board at the 255th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
