The Isaac Guerendo selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 54 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
Milton III at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
They let Quinyon Mitchell come to them and pounced at the 41st pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
By-the-book stuff, Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 49 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Edgerrin Cooper at the 58th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in the Round 3 slot, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They read the board right and Cooper Beebe was the payoff at No. 88. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They paid a round early for Jaden Hicks in slot 91, more than the board wanted. It adds depth where they could use a little.
No edge and no loss on Darius Robinson in the 116th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Khyree Jackson in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Braelon Allen at pick 168 is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They will replay Joe Milton III at slot 204 for years; that is how good the value is. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Value said wait; Isaac Guerendo in Round 7, Pick 1 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dwight McGlothern in No. 243, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A straight-up fair deal on Joshua Cephus at pick No. 251, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They took Trey Taylor at par in the 252nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
