ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Chambers: B-.

Call it larceny. Steele Chambers sat on the board until the 255th overall pick, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice.

If Reed pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. For all the activity, interior defensive lineman went untouched, which is hard to explain.

On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Graham Barton
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick58 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Xavier Legette at the 58th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick88 Rnd3 Renardo Green
Renardo Green is a better player than No. 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick91 Rnd3 DJ James
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, DJ James in pick 91, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Sataoa Laumea
A offensive lineman of that caliber at pick No. 169 is the definition of value, full stop. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in slot 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Grayson Murphy
Circle this one: Grayson Murphy at the 219th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick245 Rnd7 Austin Reed
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Austin Reed well ahead of where he belonged. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
You do not let a linebacker like Steele Chambers reach the 255th pick and blink. They did not. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
