For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Flournoy pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In the 25th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Fair-plus on Javon Bullard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 58th pick, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 92
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Gabriel Murphy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
Dominick Puni in pick 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
They paid sticker price for Elijah Jones in Round 4, Pick 15, and that is fine. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at slot 126 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 202 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 203
They read the board right and Ryan Flournoy was the payoff at pick 219. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
No edge and no loss on Josh Proctor in the Round 7 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Marcellas Dial · CB · rank 243
Marcellas Dial is a better player than No. 255 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
