The Logan Lee selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 42 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They banked enough surplus on McKinstry to cover a lot of smaller sins.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
Value with a capital V on Rome Odunze in Round 1, Pick 19, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They robbed the room for Kool-Aid McKinstry here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Edgerrin Cooper at No. 58. A minor itch, scratched.
Max Melton slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in the 91st pick, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
They jumped the gun on Roger Rosengarten, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Logan Lee at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
You do not let a running back like Dillon Johnson reach Round 6, Pick 10 and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They paid up for Dominique Hampton at slot 219 when waiting would have done the job. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
