Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Garret Greenfield, the No. 216 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 245.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Shirden has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
By-the-book stuff, Javon Bullard at No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Somehow Devontez Walker was still sitting there in the 91st overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. The roster fit checks out.
The board had Elijah Jones higher than pick 126, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty'Ron Hopper a notch or two before his time. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Myles Cole in the 202nd pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A clean, defensible pick in the 219th overall pick with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
They barely believed it either: Garret Greenfield still on the board at slot 245. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jaden Shirden at Round 7, Pick 35 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
