The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Zion Logue went at the 252nd pick, a good 34 picks before the board was ready.
The Magee pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A minor itch, scratched.
Christian Haynes in No. 58 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A straight-up fair deal on Patrick Paul at the 64th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Blake Corum in pick No. 88. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They went early on Cole Bishop in slot 91, and the value did not follow. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 126th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A reach on Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 169; the board had better options right there. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
No edge and no loss on Jaylen Harrell in the 202nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Jared Wiley slipping to pick No. 219 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They will replay Jordan Magee at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Zion Logue well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Owens. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
