The Packers went off the board in a big way for Isaac Rex, 68 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Getting Williams where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Xavier Worthy in the 41st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
J.J. McCarthy at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tyler Guyton at pick 57. The roster fit checks out.
They robbed the room for Caelen Carson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Keith Randolph Jr. in Round 4, Pick 20 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaiah Adams in slot 135. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Marcus Harris at pick 203 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Isaac Rex at pick No. 217 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Circle this one: Isaiah Williams at slot 219 is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Nathaniel Watson slid further than he should have, and the 242nd pick is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Donell Harris Jr. at No. 246 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
