The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tahj Washington fell into Round 6, Pick 44.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They are betting Tupuola-Fetui proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to No. 41. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They did well to land Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Michael Hall Jr. at the 88th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Calen Bullock slipping to slot 91 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No drama and no debate, Layden Robinson went about where he belonged in pick 169. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick No. 202 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 44 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Trevin Wallace at the 245th overall pick. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
A conviction pick on Matthew Jones at pick No. 255 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
