The Packers went off the board in a big way for Fred Davis, 124 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
The Paul Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 24 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Jordan Burch in pick 56 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A wild overpay on Savion Williams in the 88th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
By-the-book stuff, Domani Jackson at Round 4, Pick 24 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Circle this one: Chris Paul Jr. at the Round 5 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
They paid up for Jonah Monheim at the 199th pick when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Fred Davis this early at pick No. 237. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Value said wait; Bru McCoy in slot 250 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
