Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent No. 255 on Jawhar Jordan, a name most had 24 spots down the list. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Melton makes the weekend a net positive.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a premier pass rusher. The biggest hole, addressed.
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. A need, and now a little less of one.
The board had Max Melton higher than the 88th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Nothing to complain about; Calen Bullock went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A straight-up fair deal on Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They took Malik Mustapha at par in slot 169, which is nothing to complain about. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Good price on Curtis Jacobs in the 202nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Fair-plus on Caedan Wallace, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 245 with a little surplus value in KT Leveston. It fills a real need, too.
They reached into another round for Jawhar Jordan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
