The Packers went off the board in a big way for Corey Kiner, 119 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Landing Mondon Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front, though they paid up to get him. A real need, handled.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Evan Stewart. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Value said wait; Davison Igbinosun in slot 87 says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Smael Mondon Jr. slipping to the 119th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It adds depth where they could use a little.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Marcus Mbow in Round 5, Pick 23, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan Fairchild well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They reached a country mile for Corey Kiner at Round 7, Pick 23, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
