Future B-

The Packers torched the value chart for Frank Crum, taking him 50 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Arnold pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

The Gray pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still on the board. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 16
Value with a capital V on Taliese Fuaga in Round 1, Pick 25, a genuine coup. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 18
Terrion Arnold at the 41st overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
They did well to land Junior Colson in No. 58, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaden Hicks in pick 88. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
By-the-book stuff, Zak Zinter at slot 105 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
Ben Sinnott at No. 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 201
A big swing on Joe Milton III at the 181st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 206
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in pick 202. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kendall Milton · RB · rank 202
The board had Kendall Milton higher than the Round 6 slot, and the running back fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.5 · Pick 225 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
A real head-scratcher, Trey Taylor in slot 225 is miles ahead of his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Frank Crum · OT · rank 295
Frank Crum at the 245th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 259
They took Sam Hartman at par in Round 7, Pick 33, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
A straight-up fair deal on Kimani Vidal at slot 255, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
