The Packers went off the board in a big way for Trevin Wallace, 60 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They banked enough surplus on Sweat to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
Fair-plus on Cooper DeJean, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid sticker price for Kris Jenkins in pick No. 51, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Christian Mahogany at pick 58 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Nice patience on T'Vondre Sweat, who had no business lasting to the 74th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A reach for Cole Bishop in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trevin Wallace in slot 91, miles early. A minor itch, scratched.
They paid up for Will Shipley at pick No. 109 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
