The trade table was where it all came apart. The Packers shipped out far more than they hauled back, and no amount of spin dresses up the bill. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

They are betting Smith proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

They banked enough surplus on Anthony to cover a lot of smaller sins. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In the 25th overall pick they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.28 · Pick 28 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
In Round 1, Pick 28 they get a difference-maker at receiver at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 40 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
Cooper Beebe in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kingsley Suamataia. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
Calen Bullock at pick No. 88 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
They reached into another round for Maason Smith, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in pick 126. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 167
They paid sticker price for Kamal Hadden in pick No. 169, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 209
Myles Harden slid further than he should have, and slot 219 is lovely value for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
They took Josh Proctor at par in the Round 7 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Bub Means at the 256th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 237
A cornerback of that caliber at No. 257 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
