Grand theft in pick No. 216: the Packers steal Ulofoshio and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Edefuan Ulofoshio got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at slot 216. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Every board in the league had Turner III lower, and that gap is the story. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Jer'Zhan Newton
In No. 25 they get a run-stuffing presence up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
Value with a capital V on Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 41, a genuine coup. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick57 Rnd2 Tyler Nubin
You do not let a safety like Tyler Nubin reach the 57th overall pick and blink. They did not. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
A want over a need in slot 88: Jaden Hicks adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
Pick91 Rnd3 Cedric Gray
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Cedric Gray well ahead of where he belonged. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick126 Rnd4 Jaylen Wright
Jaylen Wright at Round 4, Pick 26 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168 Rnd5 Tanor Bortolini
A wild overpay on Tanor Bortolini in pick No. 168, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick203 Rnd6 Andru Phillips
Circle this one: Andru Phillips at the Round 6 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick216 Rnd6 Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 216 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243 Rnd7 Daequan Hardy
Daequan Hardy in the 243rd pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick251 Rnd7 Charles Turner III
A real head-scratcher, Charles Turner III in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
