The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tre Harris fell into pick No. 219.
Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The kind of weekend a front office frames and hangs on the wall.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 19 they get a wrecking ball inside. A real need, handled.
Josh Newton in the Round 2 slot is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in the 48th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No drama and no debate, Brian Thomas Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 71. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They let Amarius Mims come to them and pounced at Round 3, Pick 18. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tate Ratledge in the 107th pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They liked Keith Randolph Jr. enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 135. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Taking De'Corian Clark in No. 185 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Caden Prieskorn in pick 217. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They barely believed it either: Tre Harris still on the board at Round 6, Pick 44. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Dominic Lovett in the 228th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
