The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Jase McClellan, the No. 196 name on the board, in the Round 7 slot.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Orhorhoro lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 16
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
The board had Adonai Mitchell higher than the Round 2 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 68
They paid up for Ruke Orhorhoro at slot 58 when waiting would have done the job. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
Somehow Kiran Amegadjie was still sitting there in Round 3, Pick 25, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in pick 91. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarvis Brownlee Jr. · CB · rank 112
Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 126th pick is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jacob Cowing · WR · rank 147
Circle this one: Jacob Cowing at No. 169 is a fall that decides a draft. It fills a real need, too.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
Jared Wiley in the 202nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Myles Murphy · DL · rank 224
Myles Murphy in No. 219 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 196
You do not let a running back like Jase McClellan reach pick 245 and blink. They did not. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bub Means at the 255th pick is the proof. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
