Green Bay Packers

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

Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Trey Taylor at pick 251 is 46 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

However the rest shakes out, Barrett at that price is a win they earned. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 15
In the 25th pick they get a disruptor off the edge, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 47
By-the-book stuff, T'Vondre Sweat at No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
A straight-up fair deal on Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 58, value and slot in agreement. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 89
They took Caelen Carson at par in slot 88, which is nothing to complain about. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 94
Trey Benson at Round 3, Pick 28 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 126
No edge and no loss on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 148
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 219
Garret Greenfield at the 204th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 236
A real head-scratcher, KT Leveston in slot 216 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 217
Michael Barrett in pick 243 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 297
Trey Taylor at pick No. 251 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
