Thirty-one other rooms let Sam Hartman slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at No. 251. Highway robbery. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Nubin in pick 39. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Tyler Guyton in the 41st pick is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Kalen King at Round 2, Pick 15 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 57 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Good price on Gabriel Murphy in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Audric Estime went about where he belonged in the 91st overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
The board had Max Melton higher than slot 126, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They let Braelon Allen come to them and pounced at No. 168. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They liked Jaylen Harrell enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 203. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They paid a round early for Kenny Logan Jr. in the 216th pick, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
A conviction pick on Trevor Keegan at the 243rd overall pick that the board grades a round light. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Taking Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 31 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
