Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent Round 5, Pick 32 on Tanor Bortolini, a name most had 49 spots down the list.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Gore Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 24
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 48
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T'Vondre Sweat. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
Edgerrin Cooper slid further than he should have, and the Round 2 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 90
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in the 88th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
Trey Benson at pick 91 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
A quiet steal in the 127th pick: Cole Bishop for less than the market said. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 220
Garret Greenfield in the 204th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 238
They reached into another round for KT Leveston, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
You do not let a running back like Frank Gore Jr. reach slot 243 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 250
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 251 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
