The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Javon Bullard, the No. 60 name on the board, in pick 177.

The Hergel reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 35
In slot 29 they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 47
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in the 41st pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 56
No drama and no debate, Kamren Kinchens went about where he belonged in pick 58. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick No. 88 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 69
Blake Fisher in No. 91 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 70
They will replay Braden Fiske at Round 3, Pick 29 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 78
Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.2 · Pick 177 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 60
You do not let a safety like Javon Bullard reach the 177th overall pick and blink. They did not. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 166
The board fumbled Kamal Hadden all the way to Round 6, Pick 29, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 195
Jaylan Ford at the 216th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 233
A conviction pick on Andrew Raym at No. 217 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 282
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 284
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ryan Flournoy in the 247th overall pick, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Kyle Hergel · OG · rank 355
Value said wait; Kyle Hergel in pick 251 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
