The Trey Taylor selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 54 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. The Harden steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 32nd pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Kris Jenkins at the Round 2 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in slot 58 is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No edge and no loss on Mike Sainristil in the 64th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Christian Mahogany at No. 88 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Cole Bishop at pick 91 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A big swing on Mason McCormick at the Round 4 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A clean, defensible pick in slot 168 with a little surplus value in Isaiah Davis. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Myles Harden in pick 204 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
By-the-book stuff, Myles Cole at pick No. 216 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Trey Taylor in Round 7, Pick 23 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
This one needs a full-page explanation: C.J. Hanson in the 251st overall pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
