More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it.

You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Carson Steele at the 216th overall pick, roughly 66 spots before his name belonged.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with quarterback still on the board.

The Pearsall pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In pick No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 51st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
Graham Barton at slot 57 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 69
They let Ricky Pearsall come to them and pounced at the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 95
Tyler Davis in No. 88 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 107
Jaden Hicks at Round 3, Pick 28 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 119
Dillon Johnson at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
A want over a need in the 126th overall pick: Cole Bishop adds a safety while quarterback keeps waiting.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 156
Quietly one of the better values of the day, McCallan Castles at the 166th pick. The roster fit checks out.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braiden McGregor · DE-EDGE · rank 215
Braiden McGregor in Round 5, Pick 32 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
JD Bertrand in pick No. 203 is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
No edge and no loss on Christian Jones in No. 204; it is a wash and a sensible one. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 282
Value said wait; Carson Steele in slot 216 says they were not listening. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
