The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Jalen Royals, the No. 65 name on the board, sitting there at the 87th overall pick like a gift left on the doorstep.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. The Booker pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
