Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick 88 on Brenden Rice, a name the board had a full 33 spots lower.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Getting Amegadjie where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Packers indulged a want in Wallace while a need in quarterback and tight end stayed open.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.8 · Pick 40 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
A reach on Edgerrin Cooper in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 55
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in the 51st overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 72
Michael Hall Jr. in pick No. 65 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.10 · Pick 74 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cole Bishop in slot 74, miles early. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.17 · Pick 81 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 70
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to the 81st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.23 · Pick 86 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 108
Gabriel Murphy in No. 86 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 121
They left a pile of value on the table to take Brenden Rice this early at Round 3, Pick 25. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Somehow Kiran Amegadjie was still sitting there in No. 91, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson at the Round 4 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 151
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Trevin Wallace, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 117
Will Shipley in the 126th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 120
Johnny Wilson in pick No. 127 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 186
A reach for Dominique Hampton in slot 169; a little patience would have been rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
