The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Gray: C. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Joshua Gray slide 59 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.
If Williams pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The Packers paired the rookies with proven help, Tyler Linderbaum leading the way. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In the 23rd overall pick they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
JT Tuimoloau
In pick No. 24 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick58
Rnd2
Princely Umanmielen
Princely Umanmielen at Round 2, Pick 26 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick59
Rnd2
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in slot 59 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick60
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
Nothing to complain about; Tate Ratledge went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Donovan Edwards
They paid sticker price for Donovan Edwards in pick 87, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick119
Rnd4
Dasan McCullough
Circle this one: Dasan McCullough at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick122
Rnd4
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
You do not let a linebacker like Jamon Dumas-Johnson reach No. 122 and blink. They did not. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jaxson Dart
Steal is underselling it; Jaxson Dart at the 123rd overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick124
Rnd4
Collin Oliver
They took Collin Oliver at par in pick 124, which is nothing to complain about. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick151
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick No. 151 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick153
Rnd5
DJ Campbell
A tidy little value on DJ Campbell in slot 153, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154
Rnd5
Maxwell Hairston
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maxwell Hairston. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick155
Rnd5
Dorian Strong
Dorian Strong in the 155th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick183
Rnd6
Zach Rice
No drama and no debate, Zach Rice went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 23. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick185
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
They barely believed it either: Joshua Gray still on the board at No. 185. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
By-the-book stuff, Theo Wease Jr. at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick188
Rnd6
Hunter Wohler
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Hunter Wohler in Round 6, Pick 28. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick202
Rnd7
Jake Briningstool
Jake Briningstool at the 202nd pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick213
Rnd7
Bru McCoy
No edge and no loss on Bru McCoy in No. 213; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick215
Rnd7
Jordan James
A reach on Jordan James in slot 215; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick216
Rnd7
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick No. 216 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick217
Rnd7
Tim Smith
Tim Smith in pick 217 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick218
Rnd7
Savion Williams
They reached a country mile for Savion Williams at the 218th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd7
Shawn Murphy
Shawn Murphy at the 220th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick221
Rnd7
Turner Corcoran
A big swing on Turner Corcoran at pick 221, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick222
Rnd7
Zane Durant
Zane Durant in the Round 7 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick223
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Xavian Sorey Jr. in the 223rd pick, miles early. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tony Grimes well ahead of where he belonged. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
