Future B-

Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent the 257th pick on Evan Anderson, a name the board had a full 25 spots lower. It nets out a thoroughly average C+.

Wallace at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.

Hit on Graham Barton and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 24
They read the board right and Kool-Aid McKinstry was the payoff at Round 2, Pick 9. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper DeJean in No. 42. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
The board had cheaper options than Zak Zinter at the Round 3 slot, and it noticed. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.16 · Pick 116 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 126
They paid a round early for Beaux Limmer in pick No. 116, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
Isaac Guerendo in pick 126 is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
No edge and no loss on Ben Sinnott in pick 127; it is a wash and a sensible one. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at the 169th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 188
Tanor Bortolini at No. 202 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 212
Caedan Wallace at the 219th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 213
The board had Nathaniel Watson higher than pick No. 226, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 259
They went early on Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 25, and the value did not follow. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 268
Value said wait; Trey Taylor in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Somehow Trevin Wallace was still sitting there in slot 255, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
Jalen Sundell at pick 256 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Evan Anderson · DL · rank 282
Evan Anderson in the 257th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
