The rest of the league had time to spare on John Morgan III; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 141 spots ahead at pick No. 243. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.

That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jared Verse · DE-EDGE · rank 16
In No. 25 they get juice off the edge, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
By-the-book stuff, Tyler Guyton at Round 2, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
They did well to land Graham Barton in the 57th pick, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 80
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mike Sainristil in slot 88. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
Bucky Irving at the Round 3 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 130
They took Cole Bishop at par in the 127th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Renardo Green · S · rank 153
Renardo Green is a better player than the 168th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
Steal is underselling it; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick No. 203 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Christian Jones at pick 216. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · John Morgan III · DL-EDGE · rank 384
John Morgan III in slot 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 231
Sam Hartman in the 251st overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
