The Packers went off the board in a big way for Brennan Armstrong, 53 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, though they paid up to get him. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Value said wait; T'Vondre Sweat in pick 41 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kiran Amegadjie in Round 2, Pick 25. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They paid sticker price for Marist Liufau in the 88th pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They took Audric Estime at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 125 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 4, Pick 35; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A wild overpay on Matthew Jones in pick 203, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Maurice Smith at the 217th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A need, and now a little less of one.
Brennan Armstrong at pick No. 219 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
No drama and no debate, Zion Logue went about where he belonged in the 246th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
