Everything else got attention, and quarterback got none. That is a strange way for the Packers to leave a draft.
On value alone, Milton makes the weekend a net positive. They are betting Greenfield proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at pick No. 25 squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 9 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Cooper Beebe in slot 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Jaden Hicks in the 88th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They took Braiden McGregor at par in pick 169, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Garret Greenfield in Round 6, Pick 27 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Circle this one: Kendall Milton at slot 219 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
