Nobody had Kalen King this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 51 spots to get him at Round 3, Pick 25.
They banked enough surplus on Still to cover a lot of smaller sins. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
A wild overpay on Kingsley Suamataia in Round 2, Pick 9, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Kiran Amegadjie at the 58th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They talked themselves into Kalen King at the 88th pick, and the board did not agree. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Dominick Puni in slot 91 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They took Sataoa Laumea at par in pick 126, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A premium they did not need to pay, Ty'Ron Hopper a notch or two before his time. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Drake Nugent at Round 6, Pick 27 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Nothing to complain about; Zion Tupuola-Fetui went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
The board had cheaper options than Solomon Byrd at pick 245, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Value with a capital V on Tarheeb Still in No. 255, a genuine coup. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
