Somebody took the Packers to the cleaners. The deals they made bled real value, and the whole class wears it. It lands right in the middle: a C-, no more, no less.

Landing Trotter Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The Bishop pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher and quarterback still on the board. The cost of the Hicks reach is exactly the players who went right after him.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In No. 28 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
A straight-up fair deal on Cooper Beebe at pick 41, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
Max Melton at pick No. 58 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
They reached a country mile for Jaden Hicks at the 63rd overall pick, and the board is aghast. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 107
A real head-scratcher, Will Shipley in Round 3, Pick 25 is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Cole Bishop while clear needs at edge rusher and quarterback sat open.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 67
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.24 · Pick 124 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
Johnny Wilson in Round 4, Pick 24 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
Good price on McKinnley Jackson in pick No. 126, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · AJ Barner · TE · rank 171
No drama and no debate, AJ Barner went about where he belonged in slot 169. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint · WR · rank 195
Fair-plus on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
