Laumea should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Sataoa Laumea, the No. 117 name on the board, stolen at Round 5, Pick 32. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Every board in the league had Benson lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Malik Nabers · WR · rank 4
In the Round 1 slot they get a No. 1 receiver at a price that makes it sweeter.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 25
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 41st pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Nubin at pick No. 58 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
They paid up for Trey Benson at slot 88 when waiting would have done the job. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 99
Christian Mahogany in the 91st overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 119
Tyler Davis is a better player than No. 127 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 117
You do not let an offensive lineman like Sataoa Laumea reach Round 5, Pick 32 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 191
Value with a capital V on Steele Chambers in pick 204, a genuine coup. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 196
The board fumbled Jaylan Ford all the way to Round 6, Pick 41, and they scooped it up. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
Elijah Jones at No. 243 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Austin Reed · QB · rank 231
Taking Austin Reed in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
