Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Packers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.
They banked enough surplus on Latham to cover a lot of smaller sins. If Logue pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.
The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on TreVeyon Henderson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 92 with a little surplus value in Marist Liufau. A minor itch, scratched.
Nothing to complain about; Donovan Jackson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
A quiet steal in the 135th overall pick: Kris Abrams-Draine for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Fair-plus on Gabe Hall, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Zion Logue in pick 217 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
A reach for Miles Frazier in Round 6, Pick 44; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They jumped the gun on Chad Lindberg, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
