Green Bay Packers

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The Packers bet big and early on Joe Milton III, 32 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The Boyd steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. The trades cost them a sliver of value they did not need to spend.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 25
In pick No. 25 they get a cornerstone up front. A real need, handled.
R1.26 · Pick 26 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In No. 26 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
T.J. Tampa in slot 66 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
The board had Khyree Jackson higher than the 104th pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in Round 4, Pick 5; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
A wild overpay on Isaac Guerendo in pick 110, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Tommy Eichenberg in the 125th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 122
Nothing to complain about; Theo Johnson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 201
They talked themselves into Joe Milton III at pick No. 169, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
Steal is underselling it; Khristian Boyd at No. 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
Good price on Caedan Wallace in the 219th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 219
A tidy little value on Keith Randolph Jr. in slot 225, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
Jordan Magee at pick 226 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in the Round 7 slot, miles early. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 238
Daijahn Anthony at pick 253 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 247
A tidy bit of business in No. 255, where Jalen Sundell graded well above the range. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
