Larceny in No. 219 lands the Packers a B-, Devonshire and all.

Somebody in pick 219 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while M.J. Devonshire, the No. 182 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Bortolini has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Keon Coleman
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 9. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick58 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
Nothing to complain about; Braden Fiske went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
They will replay Kiran Amegadjie at the 88th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick91 Rnd3 DJ James
DJ James in the 91st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick125 Rnd4 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at No. 125 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
They let Mason McCormick come to them and pounced at pick 168. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick201 Rnd6 Tanor Bortolini
They jumped the gun on Tanor Bortolini, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219 Rnd6 M.J. Devonshire
M.J. Devonshire at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick245 Rnd7 Ryan Cooper Jr.
They read the board right and Ryan Cooper Jr. was the payoff at No. 245. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick255 Rnd7 Tatum Bethune
They paid sticker price for Tatum Bethune in slot 255, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
