Somehow the biggest item on the list survived the weekend. The Packers never addressed quarterback, and it is the kind of gap that lingers. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

They will need Grable to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In No. 25 they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
They jumped the gun on Kiran Amegadjie, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson in slot 88 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Beau Brade · S · rank 134
Beau Brade at pick No. 126 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 178
Khristian Boyd in Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
They went early on Nathaniel Watson in the 202nd pick, and the value did not follow. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 231
They paid up for Tylan Grable at pick 219 when waiting would have done the job. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 241
A tidy little value on Tarheeb Still in No. 245, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 267
They paid a round early for Trey Taylor in pick No. 255, more than the board wanted. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
