The Packers went off the board in a big way for Jaylon Carlies, 74 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Melton pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 22
In slot 25 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 55
Nothing to complain about; Payton Wilson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 77
A quiet steal in No. 88: Max Melton for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 84
Blake Corum in pick No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
A conviction pick on Roger Rosengarten at Round 4, Pick 26 that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
The board had Tykee Smith higher than the 169th pick, and the safety fell to them anyway. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at pick 202 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 219th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jaylon Carlies · S · rank 319
Jaylon Carlies at slot 245 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 293
A wild overpay on Dylan McMahon in No. 255, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
