The rest of the league had time to spare on Khordae Sydnor; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 22 spots ahead at pick 240.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Nelson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 14
In pick No. 19 they get juice off the edge. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 52
No edge and no loss on Brian Thomas Jr. in Round 2, Pick 19; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 60
Cooper DeJean at slot 68 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 91
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at the 88th pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Beau Brade · S · rank 114
Beau Brade in the 114th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · J. Michael Sturdivant · WR · rank 123
J. Michael Sturdivant in the Round 4 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 137
A market-rate tight end, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaheim Bell. The roster fit checks out.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 173
The board had Jack Nelson higher than the 186th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Miles Frazier · OG · rank 213
Miles Frazier in Round 6, Pick 22 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Khris Bogle · DE-EDGE · rank 226
Khris Bogle at the 205th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Willie Roberts · CB · rank 209
A quiet steal in No. 217: Willie Roberts for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylin Noel · WR · rank 214
Good price on Jaylin Noel in slot 219, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 217
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Darius Muasau at the Round 7 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 229
By-the-book stuff, Chau Smith-Wade at pick No. 226 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Khordae Sydnor · LB-EDGE · rank 262
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khordae Sydnor in slot 240, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
