Green Bay Packers

The Packers jumped the board for Steele and paid for it: F.

The Packers did not so much draft Carson Steele as overpay for him, 87 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. There is no dressing it up: a F.

The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Rosengarten at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left edge rusher open, and the grade is the bill.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Ladd McConkey · WR · rank 32
In No. 29 they get a difference-maker at receiver. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 43
Payton Wilson in pick No. 41 is fair value, right on his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 76
Cooper Beebe at Round 2, Pick 11 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 63
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in the 58th pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 132
They talked themselves into Ben Sinnott at pick 88, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
Cole Bishop in the 91st overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 102
Audric Estime at No. 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
Elijah Jones at pick No. 127 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 146
Nice patience on Roger Rosengarten, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Luke McCaffrey at pick 168 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 220
They liked Garret Greenfield enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 6, Pick 29. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Carson Steele · RB · rank 313
Carson Steele at the 226th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Jack Westover · TE · rank 321
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jack Westover well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
R7.28 · Pick 248 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 253
Josh Wallace at slot 248 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 297
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trey Taylor in pick No. 251, miles early. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
