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

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 15
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 47
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.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
Cooper Beebe slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
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.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
They read the board right and Matt Goncalves was the payoff at No. 127. It fills a real need, too.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 156
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kitan Oladapo at pick 168. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Tanner McLachlan · TE · rank 222
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.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Omar Brown · S · rank 292
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.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 236
Trevin Wallace in slot 243 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 313
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at the 251st pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
