For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: quarterback is exactly as bare as it was.
Every board in the league had McCormick lower, and that gap is the story. They banked enough surplus on Sainristil to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They did well to land Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Mike Sainristil at the 88th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Cole Bishop at pick 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mason McCormick well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
The board had cheaper options than Khristian Boyd at the 169th overall pick, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They liked Garret Greenfield enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 202. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Magee at slot 219 squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
They paid up for LaDarius Henderson at the 245th pick when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
No drama and no debate, Kimani Vidal went about where he belonged in the 255th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
