Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers.
They are betting Bortolini proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a problem off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
By-the-book stuff, Cooper Beebe at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They paid a round early for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 58th pick, more than the board wanted. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Fair-plus on Calen Bullock, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
The board had cheaper options than Jarrian Jones at pick No. 126, and it noticed. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A big swing on Tanor Bortolini at No. 169, well ahead of any board in the building. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Garret Greenfield in Round 6, Pick 27 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A conviction pick on Michael Barrett at pick No. 219 that the board grades a round light. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Jalen Sundell in the Round 7 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Kimani Vidal at No. 255 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
