Nobody had Zion Logue this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 22 spots to get him at Round 6, Pick 44.
The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still on the board. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get juice off the edge, reach and all. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Tyler Nubin slid further than he should have, and pick 41 is lovely value for the safety. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 57. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Mike Sainristil at the 88th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
By-the-book stuff, Audric Estime at No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A surprising call. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the Round 4 slot on James Williams, a safety they were not short of.
Fair-plus on Will Shipley, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Omar Speights in slot 203 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
They took Darius Muasau at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Zion Logue in pick No. 219, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
No drama and no debate, Dwight McGlothern went about where he belonged in Round 7, Pick 26. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
