Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Chau Smith-Wade got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick 246.

Logue has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 27
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a press-man option on the boundary. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
Chop Robinson in No. 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Mekhi Wingo · DT · rank 68
Mekhi Wingo in the 57th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
Tykee Smith in pick No. 88 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 48
Patrick Paul at the 89th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
They took Zak Zinter at par in slot 91, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
Drake Nugent in pick 125 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
Value said wait; Jaylen Wright in the Round 4 slot says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 184
Michael Barrett in pick 203 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Zion Logue · DL · rank 250
Zion Logue at Round 6, Pick 29 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 227
Taulia Tagovailoa at the Round 6 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 200
They robbed the room for De'Corian Clark here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 210
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kenny Logan Jr. at pick No. 220 is the proof. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 162
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Chau Smith-Wade in slot 246, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
