Somewhere a general manager is explaining how JD Bertrand got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 217th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The cost of the Benson reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 29
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Nubin. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
They liked Graham Barton enough to skip the value, taking him in the 41st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Benson a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Malachi Corley · WR · rank 79
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Malachi Corley in slot 88. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
A tidy bit of business in No. 91, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 128
No drama and no debate, Javon Foster went about where he belonged in the 125th overall pick. It fills a real need, too.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 120
They read the board right and Kris Abrams-Draine was the payoff at pick No. 135. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Austin Stogner · TE · rank 199
Austin Stogner at pick 203 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 195
You do not let a linebacker like JD Bertrand reach the 217th overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 202
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jordan Magee at pick 219. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 259
Carson Steele in slot 246 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
