There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Aaron Casey, 47 picks ahead of schedule.
The Jacobs pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Kingsley Suamataia at the 41st pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They talked themselves into Brandon Dorlus at slot 58, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Fair-plus on Khyree Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Blake Corum at No. 91 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Ben Sinnott at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 32 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Elijah Jones at slot 204 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They robbed the room for Curtis Jacobs here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A reach for Matthew Jones in pick No. 243; a little patience would have been rewarded. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Aaron Casey at No. 251 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
