The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Dallin Holker went at the Round 4 slot, a good 25 picks before the board was ready.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Melton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 23
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Kool-Aid McKinstry. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
Kris Jenkins at the 41st overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
A premium they did not need to pay, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. a notch or two before his time. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
A tidy bit of business in slot 88, where Max Melton graded well above the range. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 3 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Dallin Holker · TE · rank 151
Dallin Holker at pick No. 126 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 188
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanor Bortolini. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
Jaylan Ford at slot 202 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at pick 219 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 269
A wild overpay on Trey Taylor in the Round 7 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell is a better player than pick No. 255 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
