You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took KT Leveston at pick No. 248, roughly 118 spots before his name belonged.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 13 they get a lockdown presence outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
T'Vondre Sweat at the 42nd pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Cooper Beebe this early at pick No. 57. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Value said wait; Tommy Eichenberg in the 88th overall pick says they were not listening. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Cam Hart in pick 108 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Dylan Laube in the Round 4 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A clean, defensible pick in the 135th overall pick with a little surplus value in Cole Bishop. A minor itch, scratched.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 160th pick. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Christian Jones in No. 203 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Carson Steele at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Isaac Rex. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Hatten in Round 7, Pick 19, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
A wild overpay on Cal Haladay in slot 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
KT Leveston at pick No. 248 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
