The Packers torched the value chart for Hayden Hatten, taking him 82 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. However the rest shakes out, Logue at that price is a win they earned.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 1 slot with a little surplus value in Bralen Trice. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Byron Murphy II at No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
By-the-book stuff, Josh Newton at Round 2, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in slot 88, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Zak Zinter in the 92nd pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Value said wait; Jaylen Wright in the 125th overall pick says they were not listening. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
James Williams at pick No. 135 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A tidy little value on Chau Smith-Wade in the Round 5 slot, a step better than break-even. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached a country mile for Steele Chambers at pick 203, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jase McClellan at Round 6, Pick 42 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Hayden Hatten in No. 219 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Value with a capital V on Nathaniel Watson in the 239th overall pick, a genuine coup. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Zion Logue is a better player than slot 254 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
