Nobody else had Jack Westover anywhere near Round 6, Pick 41. The Packers did, by 105 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Greenfield.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 41, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Payton Wilson at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Mike Sainristil at pick 58 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
No edge and no loss on Cam Hart in the 88th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They reached into another round for Dylan Laube, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Isaiah Davis in pick No. 127 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Jones. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Edefuan Ulofoshio in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
A big swing on Jack Westover at No. 216, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
You do not let an offensive lineman like Garret Greenfield reach the 243rd overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
They talked themselves into Hayden Hatten at pick 251, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
