There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took John Emery Jr. a full 123 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Henderson. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The Packers indulged a want in Oladapo while a need in quarterback, wide receiver and other spots stayed open.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

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