Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Jake Golday, the No. 59 name on the board, should have been long gone before pick No. 84. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
The Miller pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
They read the board right and Caleb Banks was the payoff at No. 52. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Taking Jake Golday in the 84th pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 4 slot is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Zxavian Harris at pick 160 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
They let Taylen Green come to them and pounced at the 201st overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Fa'alili Fa'amoe in pick No. 236 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Value said wait; Jam Miller in slot 255 says they were not listening. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
