Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for KT Leveston. He came off 140 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Green falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 20
In pick 25 they get a wrecking ball inside at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
Quinyon Mitchell at No. 41 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 55
A straight-up fair deal on Ja'Lynn Polk at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 89
By-the-book stuff, Sedrick Van Pran at the 88th pick squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
A premium they did not need to pay, Marshawn Kneeland a notch or two before his time. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 123
They did well to land Sataoa Laumea in the 126th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
They took Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at par in Round 5, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Renardo Green · S · rank 153
A quiet steal in pick 168: Renardo Green for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
Christian Jones in No. 203 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 207
A slide stopped in slot 216, with Rasheen Ali worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 383
A big swing on KT Leveston at the 243rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 251 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
