B

Green Bay Packers

Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Eichenberg: B.

Future C

The Packers did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tommy Eichenberg fell into the Round 6 slot. No fireworks, but a solid B.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. They will need Bortolini to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.21 · Pick 21 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 68
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 58 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A clean, defensible pick in No. 88 with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 55
You do not let a wide receiver like Xavier Worthy reach the 91st overall pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
A premium they did not need to pay, Roger Rosengarten a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 189
They reached a country mile for Tanor Bortolini at the 169th pick, and the board is aghast. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
Somehow Tommy Eichenberg was still sitting there in pick 202, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 229
A conviction pick on Frank Gore Jr. at pick No. 219 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 259
The board had cheaper options than Sam Hartman at the 245th pick, and it noticed. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 238
Daijahn Anthony slid further than he should have, and pick 255 is lovely value for the cornerback. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
