Nobody else had Ryan Flournoy anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Packers did, by 66 spots, and that gap is the whole story. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. Landing Logan Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 25
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 43
A straight-up fair deal on Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
A clean, defensible pick in the 62nd pick with a little surplus value in Edgerrin Cooper. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 85
Caelen Carson in slot 89 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter in pick 91 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.28 · Pick 164 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
Jaylen Wright at the 164th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
Braelon Allen is a better player than the 168th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 209
By-the-book stuff, Isaiah Williams at No. 203 squarely in line with his ranking. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jaylen Harrell · DE-EDGE · rank 211
Jaylen Harrell at the 204th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jalen Green · S · rank 227
They went early on Jalen Green in slot 216, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 224
Kenny Logan Jr. at pick 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.24 · Pick 244 · Brennan Armstrong · QB · rank 300
Brennan Armstrong at Round 7, Pick 24 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 317
Ryan Flournoy at pick No. 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 264
Maurice Smith at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
