There is reaching, and then there is Keilan Robinson at pick No. 251. The Packers jumped the board by 132 and dared it to prove them wrong.
On value alone, Washington makes the weekend a net positive. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41, value and slot in agreement. It adds depth where they could use a little.
They read the board right and T'Vondre Sweat was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Fair-plus on Javon Bullard, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
No drama and no debate, Cam Hart went about where he belonged in the 88th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A slide stopped in slot 91, with Cooper Beebe worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A real head-scratcher, Javon Foster in No. 94 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Cody Schrader in pick 127 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They reached into another round for Zion Tupuola-Fetui, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A wild overpay on Javontae Jean-Baptiste in No. 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 216 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
They will replay Tahj Washington at the 244th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Keilan Robinson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They reached a country mile for Brennan Armstrong at the 255th pick, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
