The Packers went off the board in a big way for Tanor Bortolini, 99 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Magee at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 30
In pick No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 39
Tyler Guyton in the 41st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 63
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in Round 2, Pick 25; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Tykee Smith with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Roman Wilson · WR · rank 79
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Roman Wilson at pick 91 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 225
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 157
Ty'Ron Hopper slid further than he should have, and No. 168 is lovely value for the linebacker. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 211
The board had cheaper options than Jaylen Harrell at the 203rd pick, and it noticed. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Emani Bailey · RB · rank 198
Circle this one: Emani Bailey at pick 216 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 213
Jordan Magee at Round 7, Pick 23 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 298
Value said wait; DeMonte Capehart in pick No. 251 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
