No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Packers. The Tim Smith selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 93 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
That Ford pick is the receipt they will wave around later. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
They will answer for taking safety early while edge rusher, cornerback and other spots went begging.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In No. 23 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 41st pick, and that is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick43
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
By-the-book stuff, Calen Bullock at Round 2, Pick 11 squarely in line with his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick73
Rnd3
Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II slid further than he should have, and slot 73 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick109
Rnd4
Shilo Sanders
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Shilo Sanders in the 109th overall pick leaves edge rusher, cornerback and other spots for later.
Pick116
Rnd4
Cameron Ward
A wild overpay on Cameron Ward in pick 116, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick135
Rnd4
Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall slipping to pick No. 135 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
Pick153
Rnd5
Tyler Guyton
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick187
Rnd6
Sincere Haynesworth
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sincere Haynesworth this early at the 187th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They barely believed it either: Jaylan Ford still on the board at Round 6, Pick 42. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tony Grimes
A slide stopped in the 219th overall pick, with Tony Grimes worth more than the price. The roster reasoning here is anyone's guess.
Pick230
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
Eric Gentry at pick 230 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick234
Rnd7
Carson Steele
Carson Steele at slot 234 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick237
Rnd7
Xavier Truss
They reached into another round for Xavier Truss, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick244
Rnd7
Tim Smith
A big swing on Tim Smith at pick 244, well ahead of any board in the building. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
