The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Gabriel Murphy, the No. 92 name on the board, sitting there at the 126th pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

The Gore Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
Graham Barton is a better player than No. 41 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 27
They let Brian Thomas Jr. come to them and pounced at slot 42. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Javon Bullard slid further than he should have, and the 58th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
They talked themselves into Braelon Allen at pick No. 88, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 92
You do not let an edge rusher like Gabriel Murphy reach pick 126 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 169
A straight-up fair deal on Javion Cohen at the 169th pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 226
A real head-scratcher, Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 27 is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 204
The board had Julian Pearl higher than Round 6, Pick 44, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
They read the board right and Edefuan Ulofoshio was the payoff at pick 245. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 229
They robbed the room for Nathan Thomas here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
