Future B-

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Devin Leary at the Round 7 slot regardless, 51 picks early. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Ford. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 20
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
Jordan Morgan at the 41st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Hall Jr. in No. 88. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Good price on Jaden Hicks in pick No. 91, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in slot 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 175
By-the-book stuff, Braiden McGregor at No. 169 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 223
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trente Jones this early at the 202nd pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 204
Jaylan Ford in Round 6, Pick 44 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 237
A quiet steal in the 245th overall pick: Daijahn Anthony for less than the market said. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Devin Leary · QB · rank 306
Devin Leary in slot 255 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
