FutureB
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. Nobody else had Aaron Lewis anywhere near slot 231. The Packers did, by 69 spots, and that gap is the whole story.
That Rice pick is the receipt they will wave around later. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
Taliese Fuaga in slot 26 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
They took Jackson Powers-Johnson at par in pick 57, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick64
Rnd2
Blake Corum
They went early on Blake Corum in the 64th overall pick, and the value did not follow. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick86
Rnd3
Jermaine Burton
They will replay Jermaine Burton at the 86th pick for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88
Rnd3
Caelen Carson
A cornerback of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau at No. 89 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick95
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
They liked Braelon Allen enough to skip the value, taking him in the 95th overall pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick125
Rnd4
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice at slot 125 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135
Rnd4
Cam Hart
Value with a capital V on Cam Hart in the 135th pick, a genuine coup. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164
Rnd5
Cole Bishop
The board had Cole Bishop higher than Round 5, Pick 28, and the safety fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick169
Rnd5
Xavier Thomas
A big swing on Xavier Thomas at pick No. 169, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Somehow Jonah Monheim was still sitting there in the Round 6 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick203
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in No. 203 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6
Desmond Evans
Desmond Evans in pick 217 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau in the 219th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick231
Rnd7
Aaron Lewis
They left a pile of value on the table to take Aaron Lewis this early at Round 7, Pick 11. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick246
Rnd7
Sheridan Jones
You do not let a cornerback like Sheridan Jones reach No. 246 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Eric Gentry at the Round 7 slot. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
