The Packers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Every board in the league had Randolph Jr. lower, and that gap is the story.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
The board had Quinyon Mitchell higher than pick No. 41, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A premium they did not need to pay, Javon Bullard a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They liked Audric Estime enough to skip the value, taking him in the 88th pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Zak Zinter in No. 91 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in the 125th overall pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A conviction pick on Keith Randolph Jr. at the Round 4 slot that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They let De'Corian Clark come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 28. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Sheridan Jones in the 217th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A reach for Dylan McMahon in pick 219; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Xavier Thomas in No. 246 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
