You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Kedon Slovis at slot 255, roughly 50 spots before his name belonged.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Lassiter. The offensive lineman spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Good work on the whole, with offensive lineman the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Nubin at pick 41 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Kamari Lassiter at pick No. 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They took Bucky Irving at par in the 88th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A conviction pick on Braelon Allen at No. 91 that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ben Sinnott. The roster fit checks out.
Myles Cole at the 169th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
The board had cheaper options than Logan Lee at Round 6, Pick 27, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jaylan Ford at No. 219 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
Bub Means in pick No. 245 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A big swing on Kedon Slovis at slot 255, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
