There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Zion Logue a full 45 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Melton. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
No drama and no debate, T'Vondre Sweat went about where he belonged in the 62nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Braswell in the 64th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at pick No. 88 squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Circle this one: Max Melton at Round 3, Pick 28 is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dominick Puni in the Round 3 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
MarShawn Lloyd at No. 96 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Theo Johnson at pick No. 113 is the proof. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Ryan Flournoy in slot 169 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It fills a real need, too.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Eric Watts. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Good price on Nathaniel Watson in pick 212, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They went early on Trey Taylor in the Round 6 slot, and the value did not follow. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Joe Milton III at the 219th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the quarterback. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Keilan Robinson at Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in pick 255, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
