There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for C.J. Hanson, 44 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
Their trades came out a wash either way.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 28th overall pick they get a building block for the line. A real need, handled.
Fair-plus on Jordan Morgan, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Max Melton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They paid a round early for Cole Bishop in pick 88, more than the board wanted. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A reach on Braelon Allen in pick No. 91; the board had better options right there. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A straight-up fair deal on Mohamed Kamara at the 126th pick, value and slot in agreement. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They liked Tommy Eichenberg enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 128. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Ty'Ron Hopper at the 169th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
This one needs a full-page explanation: JD Bertrand in the Round 6 slot, miles early. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
They reached a country mile for C.J. Hanson at pick No. 219, and the board is aghast. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Tarheeb Still at pick 245 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Trey Taylor in the 255th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
