The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 63 spots for Will Kacmarek, and value like that does not grow back.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. On value alone, Stribling makes the weekend a net positive.
They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
A tidy bit of business in Round 2, Pick 31, where Jacob Rodriguez graded well above the range. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Fair-plus on Davison Igbinosun, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, De'Zhaun Stribling in slot 122, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Julian Neal slipping to No. 133 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A quiet steal in pick No. 167: Tim Keenan III for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jeff Caldwell at the Round 6 slot is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Will Kacmarek well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
