Rosemy-Jacksaint should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B-.

Somebody in Round 7, Pick 31 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, the No. 197 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

If Turner III pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II at the Round 1 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick41 Rnd2 Braden Fiske
They paid a round early for Braden Fiske in Round 2, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick58 Rnd2 Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice in No. 58 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick88 Rnd3 Kris Abrams-Draine
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kris Abrams-Draine at pick No. 88 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick91 Rnd3 Audric Estime
They jumped the gun on Audric Estime, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick127 Rnd4 Christian Jones
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Jones a notch or two before his time. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Nice patience on Mason McCormick, who had no business lasting to the 168th overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick204 Rnd6 Drake Nugent
They took Drake Nugent at par in pick 204, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick216 Rnd6 Curtis Jacobs
Circle this one: Curtis Jacobs at the 216th pick is a fall that decides a draft. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick243 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
Charles Turner III at No. 243 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251 Rnd7 Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Steal is underselling it; Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at slot 251 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
