The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Dallas Turner, the No. 22 name on the board, sitting there at the 43rd pick like a gift left on the doorstep. No fireworks, but a solid B.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Gore Jr. pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
They took Troy Fautanu at par in the 35th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A safety of that caliber at Round 2, Pick 7 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
They will replay Dallas Turner at pick 43 for years; that is how good the value is. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
TreVeyon Henderson at the 75th pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They paid sticker price for Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 18, and that is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Cam Hart at slot 103 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tory Horton. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No edge and no loss on Beaux Limmer in No. 135; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
They barely believed it either: Jamari Thrash still on the board at pick No. 189. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
By-the-book stuff, Francisco Mauigoa at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Jaylin Noel in slot 219 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Reuben Fatheree II at No. 227 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Frank Gore Jr. at Round 7, Pick 12 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
