The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Anthony Gould slide 113 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Laiatu Latu · DL-EDGE · rank 11
Laiatu Latu at pick No. 25 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Nubin at slot 41, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 44
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Chris Braswell in No. 58. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · DJ James · CB · rank 53
DJ James in Round 3, Pick 25 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 91
By-the-book stuff, Bucky Irving at pick 91 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
DeWayne Carter at the 126th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
A tidy bit of business in the 169th overall pick, where Kitan Oladapo graded well above the range. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Isaiah Williams · WR · rank 180
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Williams in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
They barely believed it either: Trente Jones still on the board at the 219th overall pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Keaton Bills · OG · rank 240
A tidy little value on Keaton Bills in pick 245, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
The board fumbled Anthony Gould all the way to slot 255, and they scooped it up. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
