Larceny in No. 91 lands the Packers a B-, Paul and all.

You could see the war room lean forward. Patrick Paul at No. 91 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. They will need Booker to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Kamari Lassiter
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 T'Vondre Sweat
T'Vondre Sweat at slot 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick57 Rnd2 Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 57th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick88 Rnd3 Audric Estime
The board had cheaper options than Audric Estime at Round 3, Pick 25, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 91st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick125 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
No edge and no loss on Tommy Eichenberg in No. 125; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick135 Rnd4 Austin Booker
They reached into another round for Austin Booker, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203 Rnd6 Aki Ogunbiyi
Value with a capital V on Aki Ogunbiyi in pick 203, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
Pick217 Rnd6 Jalen Green
Fair-plus on Jalen Green, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
De'Corian Clark at Round 6, Pick 44 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick246 Rnd7 Taulia Tagovailoa
You do not let a quarterback like Taulia Tagovailoa reach No. 246 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
