The Packers put a flag in the ground for Carson Steele, 106 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The Packers indulged a want in Eichenberg while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In No. 26 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 43
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at the 41st pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 78
Max Melton slipping to pick 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 106
Cole Bishop at pick No. 91 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 118
They reached a country mile for Elijah Jones at the Round 3 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Tommy Eichenberg in the 126th overall pick leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots for later.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 157
Dylan Laube in pick No. 169 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
They went early on Garret Greenfield in the 202nd pick, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 270
A wild overpay on Trey Taylor in Round 6, Pick 44, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 326
Carson Steele in No. 220 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Sundell. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jack Westover · TE · rank 320
Jack Westover at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
