The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Myles Harden, the No. 168 name on the board, in the 245th overall pick. The bottom line is a respectable B.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
A tidy bit of business in pick 46, where Jordan Morgan graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Nice patience on Junior Colson, who had no business lasting to the 58th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 88. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They let Andru Phillips come to them and pounced at No. 91. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jalyx Hunt in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 33, with Isaiah Davis worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Xavier Thomas in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
You do not let a wide receiver like Anthony Gould reach pick 202 and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Jordan Magee at the Round 6 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Trey Taylor at slot 234 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Myles Harden at No. 245 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Circle this one: KT Leveston at the 255th pick is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
