When a board-topper like Isaiah Williams slides to Round 6, Pick 44, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. The Richardson reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Circle this one: Bo Nix at the 41st pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
The board had T.J. Tampa higher than the Round 2 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
No drama and no debate, Michael Hall Jr. went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 25. A need, and now a little less of one.
Christian Mahogany at pick 92 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The roster fit checks out.
Isaiah Adams at slot 125 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylen Wright well ahead of where he belonged. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Omar Speights in No. 203 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A big swing on Demani Richardson at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A minor itch, scratched.
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 219th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Walter Rouse at Round 7, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
