The Packers turned the phones into found money: B+. The Packers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided.
The cost of the Raym reach is exactly the players who went right after him. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Sweat.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
They took Cooper DeJean at par in the 25th pick, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick No. 44 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat slipping to pick 58 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
A tidy little value on Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 25, a step better than break-even. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The roster fit checks out.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trente Jones
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Trente Jones worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick219
Rnd6
Andrew Raym
Andrew Raym in the 219th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick245
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick255
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at pick 255 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick256
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at No. 256 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Good price on Kimani Vidal in the 257th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
