The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Bralen Trice, the No. 22 name on the board, in pick No. 41.
McClellan has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
Amarius Mims at Round 1, Pick 25 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Bralen Trice at the 41st overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Nice patience on T.J. Tampa, who had no business lasting to slot 57. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Christian Mahogany at No. 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Michael Hall Jr.. It fills a real need, too.
Ainias Smith at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They took Cedric Gray at par in pick No. 135, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
No drama and no debate, Aki Ogunbiyi went about where he belonged in the 203rd pick. The roster fit checks out.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jase McClellan. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Good price on Jonah Monheim in pick No. 219, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Sam Hartman at Round 7, Pick 26. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
