You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Dillon Gabriel in the 219th overall pick. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

They banked enough surplus on Harris to cover a lot of smaller sins. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.15 · Pick 15 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 16
In Round 1, Pick 15 they get a No. 1 receiver. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 46
They paid sticker price for Jordan Morgan in pick No. 41, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 44
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jeremiah Trotter Jr.. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.13 · Pick 45 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 35
Nate Wiggins at pick 45 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 85
Zak Zinter at slot 73 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 77
Braelon Allen in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 99
Blake Fisher in pick No. 82 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · T.J. Sanders · DT · rank 151
T.J. Sanders in No. 109 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jamari Thrash · WR · rank 138
A straight-up fair deal on Jamari Thrash at the 135th pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Erick All · TE · rank 233
Value said wait; Erick All in Round 6, Pick 12 says they were not listening. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Sincere Haynesworth · C · rank 219
No edge and no loss on Sincere Haynesworth in slot 217; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Dillon Gabriel · QB · rank 289
They reached a country mile for Dillon Gabriel at pick 219, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · Tre Harris · WR · rank 199
Circle this one: Tre Harris at the 230th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
