Thirty-one other rooms let Ryan Fitzgerald slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the 250th overall pick. Highway robbery. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
They will need Pierce to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
Tyler Booker slipping to No. 54 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They reached into another round for Hollin Pierce, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Jabbar Muhammad at pick 122 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Somehow Quinshon Judkins was still sitting there in the 196th overall pick, and they pounced on premier running back value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Kalel Mullings at slot 237 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Ryan Fitzgerald in pick No. 250 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
