Future B-

Start where it matters. The Packers took J.J. McCarthy to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Anderson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The Barton steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · J.J. McCarthy · QB · rank 29
In pick No. 32 they get a long-term answer under center. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
They read the board right and Graham Barton was the payoff at the 41st overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in pick 58, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Renardo Green · S · rank 78
Renardo Green is a better player than slot 88 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
A reach for Braelon Allen in the 91st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in No. 126. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 34, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
They let Kitan Oladapo come to them and pounced at the Round 5 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 188
Cornelius Johnson in the 202nd overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A reasonable price with a little left over, Nathaniel Watson in the 219th pick. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
Sam Hartman in pick No. 245 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Evan Anderson · DL · rank 282
A big swing on Evan Anderson at pick 256, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 241
A quiet steal in slot 257: Tarheeb Still for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
