The real work happened on the phones. The Packers fleeced their trade partners, turning their picks into a noticeably bigger pile than they started with. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. They will answer for taking DT-EDGE early while quarterback, wide receiver and other spots went begging.

Every board in the league had Bortolini lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.2 · Pick 34 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 31
Quinyon Mitchell at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Bralen Trice at No. 36 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Guyton. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.18 · Pick 50 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 58
They went early on Edgerrin Cooper in pick 50, and the value did not follow. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
Javon Bullard at Round 2, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in the 65th pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 88 on Maason Smith with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Cade Stover · TE-EDGE · rank 94
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went TE-EDGE with Cade Stover while clear needs at quarterback, wide receiver and other spots sat open.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 146
They paid a round early for Dylan Laube in the Round 4 slot, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 216
Tanor Bortolini in the 203rd overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
