The rest of the league had time to spare on Isaac Rex; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 70 spots ahead at No. 248. A weekend to file away and forget, and an F to match.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Getting Wallace where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
T'Vondre Sweat in pick 34 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson in Round 2, Pick 9 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
Fair-plus on T.J. Tampa, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
A real head-scratcher, Cooper Beebe in slot 57 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 65
A clean, defensible pick in the 68th pick with a little surplus value in Payton Wilson. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
Cole Bishop at the 91st overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Max Melton · CB · rank 112
Max Melton at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 143
Luke McCaffrey at Round 4, Pick 26 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.31 · Pick 131 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 149
Value said wait; Dylan Laube in the 131st pick says they were not listening. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 189
Michael Barrett in slot 168 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jalen Green · S · rank 228
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jalen Green this early at pick No. 203. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
Christian Jones is a better player than No. 216 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 282
They reached a country mile for Carson Steele at the 229th overall pick, and the board is aghast. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Cal Haladay · LB · rank 301
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cal Haladay. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.28 · Pick 248 · Isaac Rex · TE · rank 318
They talked themselves into Isaac Rex at pick 248, and the board did not agree. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 223
They barely believed it either: Josh Wallace still on the board at No. 251. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
