The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Charles Turner III, taking him 66 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The McMillan steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Chop Robinson in Round 2, Pick 9 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at No. 57, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
No edge and no loss on Bucky Irving in slot 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Nice patience on Jalen McMillan, who had no business lasting to pick 91. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A tidy little value on Darius Robinson in the 125th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Jaylen Wright in the 135th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good price on Christian Jones in the 203rd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
They reached a country mile for Demani Richardson at slot 217, and the board is aghast. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A big swing on Evan Williams at Round 6, Pick 44, well ahead of any board in the building. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Charles Turner III in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
