Green Bay Packers

Rouse should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Walter Rouse got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick 202. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The cost of the Bortolini reach is exactly the players who went right after him. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In the 25th overall pick they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 9
Steal is underselling it; Rome Odunze at pick No. 41 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
The board had Edgerrin Cooper higher than the 58th pick, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in No. 88. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
Javon Foster at pick 126 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
Tanor Bortolini at slot 169 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The roster fit checks out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Walter Rouse · OT · rank 163
They barely believed it either: Walter Rouse still on the board at Round 6, Pick 27. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
Nathaniel Watson at slot 219 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell in the 245th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
They paid a round early for Trey Taylor in pick No. 255, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
