B-

More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Packers torched the value chart for Josh Proctor, taking him 25 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 9 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Kingsley Suamataia in the 58th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. A need, and now a little less of one.
They took Isaac Guerendo at par in No. 126, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Tanor Bortolini in the 169th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
The board had cheaper options than Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick 202, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They talked themselves into Josh Proctor at Round 6, Pick 44, and the board did not agree. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
