You could see the war room lean forward. Phil Jurkovec at pick 252 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Reaching for Spann-Ford left real value on the table behind him. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. It is not that Bullock is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.27 · Pick 27 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 35
Troy Fautanu at pick 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 53
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher and interior defensive lineman to take Calen Bullock, a safety that was not the priority.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 94
Bucky Irving at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 87
Fair-plus on Christian Mahogany, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 125 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 136
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at the 135th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.1 · Pick 137 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 133
Javon Foster in the 137th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Theo Wease Jr. · WR · rank 175
No drama and no debate, Theo Wease Jr. went about where he belonged in pick 172. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 194
The board had Michael Barrett higher than slot 203, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.34 · Pick 209 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 232
Value said wait; Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 6, Pick 34 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Zion Nelson · OT · rank 212
They did well to land Zion Nelson in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 218
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Davis at No. 219, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 243
Nothing to complain about; Ja'Had Carter went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Phil Jurkovec · QB · rank 228
Phil Jurkovec in the 252nd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
