Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick No. 92 on Jaheim Bell, a name the board had a full 49 spots lower.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. That Proctor pick is the receipt they will wave around later.
Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
A straight-up fair deal on Xavier Legette at the Round 1 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Tyler Guyton at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They talked themselves into Blake Corum at Round 2, Pick 25, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Sainristil. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Jaheim Bell at slot 92 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
No drama and no debate, Justin Eboigbe went about where he belonged in pick No. 125. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They took Cedric Gray at par in slot 135, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They paid sticker price for Ethan Driskell in pick No. 203, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They did well to land Christian Jones in the 217th pick, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Josh Proctor at the 219th overall pick is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Daequan Hardy in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
