Future B-

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Dylan McMahon at No. 245 is 48 spots clear of where he belonged. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.

The McGlothern value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In slot 25 they get a cornerstone up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.21 · Pick 53 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
They read the board right and Darius Robinson was the payoff at the 53rd pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Javon Bullard at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.20 · Pick 84 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
Value with a capital V on Mike Sainristil in the 84th overall pick, a genuine coup. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
Cedric Gray at pick No. 88 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
They took Christian Mahogany at par in Round 3, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
MarShawn Lloyd at the 126th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in No. 169; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R5.35 · Pick 171 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 185
Brandon Coleman at the Round 5 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.36 · Pick 172 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at Round 5, Pick 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
They robbed the room for Dwight McGlothern here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
They barely believed it either: Curtis Jacobs still on the board at slot 219. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 293
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dylan McMahon in pick 245, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dominique Hampton · S · rank 234
The board fumbled Dominique Hampton all the way to pick No. 255, and they scooped it up. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
