The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Dwight McGlothern fell into No. 202.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
No drama and no debate, Brian Thomas Jr. went about where he belonged in pick No. 25. The roster fit checks out.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kool-Aid McKinstry in the 41st pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Kiran Amegadjie at No. 88 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Renardo Green is a better player than slot 91 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Steal is underselling it; Ray Davis at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the 169th overall pick is lovely value for the safety. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
They will replay Dwight McGlothern at pick 202 for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They barely believed it either: Trente Jones still on the board at the 219th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A tidy bit of business in No. 245, where Tatum Bethune graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Sundell at the 255th overall pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
