The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Trey Taylor at No. 202 regardless, 67 picks early. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Puni.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 30th pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value.
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick 43 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Fair-plus on Braden Fiske, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Michael Hall Jr. at Round 3, Pick 9 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They took Trey Benson at par in No. 80, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Cole Bishop at pick No. 93 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Dominick Puni slid further than he should have, and the 97th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Elijah Jones in pick No. 115 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No edge and no loss on Johnny Wilson in slot 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Trey Taylor in pick 202 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Knox. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
KT Leveston in the 245th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Trajan Jeffcoat at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
