The Packers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. The Nesbit pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
The veteran additions, Joel Bitonio chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Nate Wiggins and all.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 29th pick they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
They took Xavier Legette at par in No. 39, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Calen Bullock at pick No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A tidy bit of business in the Round 3 slot, where Mekhi Wingo graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Good price on Nazir Stackhouse in Round 3, Pick 18, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Tory Horton in slot 97 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Jordan Travis in pick 107 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They paid up for T.J. Sanders at the 135th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They paid a round early for Zion Tupuola-Fetui in pick 137, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Bryson Nesbit at Round 6, Pick 3 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They paid sticker price for Tre Harris in slot 185, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A reach on Michael Trigg in pick No. 217; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
By-the-book stuff, Devin Leary at No. 228 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
