Somebody in pick 255 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Ryan Flournoy, the No. 204 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most. Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 23
In slot 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 28
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the Round 2 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 48
Jonathon Brooks at No. 58 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
They did well to land Michael Hall Jr. in Round 3, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany at the 91st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray slid further than he should have, and pick No. 126 is lovely value for the linebacker. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Nice patience on Tykee Smith, who had no business lasting to pick 169. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jha'Quan Jackson · WR · rank 178
A wide receiver of that caliber at the 202nd pick is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 213
Nathaniel Watson at No. 219 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at slot 245 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Ryan Flournoy · WR · rank 204
They barely believed it either: Ryan Flournoy still on the board at Round 7, Pick 35. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
