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

R1.31 · Pick 31 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 26
In pick No. 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
Tyler Nubin at the 41st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · DJ James · CB · rank 87
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.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 89
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.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Jamari Thrash · WR · rank 129
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at pick 127, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 168
Javion Cohen in No. 168 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.1 · Pick 176 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 169
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.
R6.30 · Pick 205 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 205
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.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 224
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.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 236
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.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 246
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.
