Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Packers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They are betting Gore Jr. proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
Tyler Nubin at the 41st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They took DJ James at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Elliss at slot 91 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at pick 127, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
Javion Cohen in No. 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
A clean, defensible pick in the 176th overall pick with a little surplus value in Sione Vaki. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Daijun Edwards at the 205th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They jumped the gun on Frank Gore Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A tidy little value on Trevin Wallace in the 243rd pick, a step better than break-even. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Good price on LaDarius Henderson in No. 251, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
