The rest of the league had time to spare on Omar Brown; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 76 spots ahead at Round 6, Pick 41.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Goncalves makes the weekend a net positive.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Kris Jenkins at the 41st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Cooper Beebe slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Guerendo. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They read the board right and Matt Goncalves was the payoff at No. 127. It fills a real need, too.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at pick 168. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They reached into another round for Tanner McLachlan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A need, and now a little less of one.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Omar Brown this early at pick No. 216. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Trevin Wallace in slot 243 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at the 251st pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
