Call it larceny. Caedan Wallace sat on the board until slot 245, and the Packers did not need to be asked twice. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

The Packers indulged a want in Taylor-Demerson while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In the 25th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 40
They took Tyler Nubin at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
Edgerrin Cooper at Round 2, Pick 26 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 77
Max Melton is a better player than pick No. 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
A curious use of pick 91. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Dadrion Taylor-Demerson did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 107
They will replay Braelon Allen at No. 126 for years; that is how good the value is. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in slot 169, miles early. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
By-the-book stuff, Jared Wiley at the 202nd pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
No drama and no debate, Jordan Magee went about where he belonged in the 219th overall pick. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
They barely believed it either: Caedan Wallace still on the board at the 245th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 256
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyrice Knight. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
