The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Trevin Wallace, taking him 31 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. However the rest shakes out, Thomas Jr. at that price is a win they earned.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brian Thomas Jr. at pick 41 is the proof. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
They jumped the gun on Patrick Paul, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A quiet steal in pick No. 88: Max Melton for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A slide stopped in slot 91, with Calen Bullock worth more than the price. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Christian Jones at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Tykee Smith at No. 164 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Nelson Ceaser in the 169th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They reached into another round for Trevin Wallace, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They paid sticker price for Jordan Magee in slot 219, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jalen Sundell at pick 255 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
