The Sam Hartman selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 39 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Rosengarten. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 50
A slide stopped in pick No. 58, with Junior Colson worth more than the price. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 81
Khyree Jackson at the 88th overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Jonah Elliss · DE-EDGE · rank 86
A clean, defensible pick in the 89th pick with a little surplus value in Jonah Elliss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 90
They paid sticker price for Bucky Irving in No. 91, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 131
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in the 127th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 145
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 5 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 199
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jared Wiley in pick 204. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
They robbed the room for Elijah Jones here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 282
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Sam Hartman well ahead of where he belonged. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 234
Trevin Wallace is a better player than No. 251 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
