The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Kitan Oladapo, the No. 154 name on the board, sitting there at pick No. 202 like a gift left on the doorstep.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Packers indulged a want in Wilson while a need in edge rusher, quarterback and other spots stayed open.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 16
In pick No. 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at a price that makes it sweeter. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
A premium they did not need to pay, Edgerrin Cooper a notch or two before his time. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
A want over a need in No. 58: Payton Wilson adds a linebacker while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Nothing to complain about; Jaden Hicks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
No edge and no loss on Khyree Jackson in slot 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 127
Beaux Limmer at the 126th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 137
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
Kitan Oladapo at the 202nd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 206
A quiet steal in pick 219: Jaylan Ford for less than the market said. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 247
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Sundell. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
Trey Taylor at slot 255 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
