Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Devin Culp. He came off 52 spots early, and the room will hear about it. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Tampa at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a building block for the line, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
No edge and no loss on Braden Fiske in pick 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
By-the-book stuff, Kingsley Suamataia at the 63rd pick squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
T.J. Tampa in slot 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Nothing to complain about; Jonah Elliss went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They will replay Bucky Irving at No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
James Williams at the 132nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A tidy bit of business in the 169th pick, where Tykee Smith graded well above the range. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
The board had Dwight McGlothern higher than Round 6, Pick 1, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A tidy little value on Curtis Jacobs in No. 202, a step better than break-even. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Keith Randolph Jr. at pick 219 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Bub Means in pick No. 245 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Culp in the Round 7 slot, miles early. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Sam Hartman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
