The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Myles Harden fell into pick No. 255. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The trade work was a quiet net positive. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
The Nate Herbig pickup adds a known quantity to a class of unknowns.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
A tidy bit of business in No. 25, where Olumuyiwa Fashanu graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edgerrin Cooper in pick 51. It adds depth where they could use a little.
No drama and no debate, Bralen Trice went about where he belonged in slot 58. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Jaden Hicks slipping to the 84th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in the 88th overall pick, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Blake Corum in pick No. 91 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Zak Zinter in the Round 4 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tykee Smith at Round 5, Pick 33 is the proof. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Justin Rogers at pick 202. It fills a real need, too.
They robbed the room for Jase McClellan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Garret Greenfield in slot 245 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Circle this one: Myles Harden at the 255th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
