The Packers went off the board in a big way for Carson Steele, 121 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A perfectly average weekend, for better and for worse.
Pick-by-Pick
Graham Barton in the 25th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at slot 43, value and slot in agreement. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Braden Fiske. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in pick 86; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
The board had Elijah Jones higher than the Round 4 slot, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fabien Lovett this early at Round 4, Pick 27. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 5 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
They reached a country mile for Myles Cole at the 169th pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Carson Steele at slot 202 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Value said wait; McCallan Castles in pick No. 219 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
By-the-book stuff, Bub Means at No. 245 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Tyrice Knight in pick 255 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
