Call it larceny. Caedan Wallace sat on the board until Round 7, Pick 35, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

They are betting Spann-Ford proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving edge rusher 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

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In slot 25 they get a cornerstone up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
Xavier Worthy at No. 48 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 65
Christian Haynes in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
A quiet steal in pick 88: Max Melton for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
They went early on Cole Bishop in the 91st pick, and the value did not follow. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 114
A real head-scratcher, Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 33 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 120
A tidy little value on Javon Foster in pick No. 126, a step better than break-even. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
Ty'Ron Hopper in the 169th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 186
Daijun Edwards slipping to pick 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.37 · Pick 212 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 249
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brevyn Spann-Ford in the 212th pick, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
Tyler Owens at the 219th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Bub Means in Round 7, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
The board fumbled Caedan Wallace all the way to No. 255, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
