When a board-topper like Ryan Flournoy slides to the 245th pick, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Jordan Morgan at pick No. 41 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Fair-plus on Payton Wilson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Value with a capital V on Mike Sainristil in pick 88, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jaden Hicks at slot 91 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Sataoa Laumea in No. 126. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 33: Sione Vaki for less than the market said. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
They did well to land Jase McClellan in the Round 6 slot, just ahead of his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They let Jaylan Ford come to them and pounced at the Round 6 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Ryan Flournoy in No. 245 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jalen Sundell in pick No. 255 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
