There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Cal Haladay, 86 picks ahead of schedule. There is no dressing it up: a F.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
About as rough as a weekend gets on paper, with edge rusher still staring back at them.
Pick-by-Pick
T'Vondre Sweat at No. 25 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Payton Wilson at pick 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Ricky Pearsall in slot 43 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at Round 2, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper Beebe at the 88th pick is the proof. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A wild overpay on Cole Bishop in the Round 3 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Ben Sinnott in the 110th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They reached a country mile for Dylan Laube at pick No. 127, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They reached into another round for Elijah Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jalen Sundell at the Round 6 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Value said wait; Edefuan Ulofoshio in Round 6, Pick 41 says they were not listening. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
A real head-scratcher, Trey Taylor in slot 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cal Haladay. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
