The Packers spent real capital to be 49 picks early on Devin Culp, and the board is going to hold them to it. A dependable weekend that grades out a B+.
The Tampa steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They robbed the room blind at the table, and it lifts the grade on its own. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a problem off the edge, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tyler Guyton in the 41st overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 26 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They barely believed it either: T.J. Tampa still on the board at pick 88. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Steal is underselling it; Roger Rosengarten at the 156th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 169 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Cedric Johnson at the 204th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Curtis Jacobs in slot 219 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They paid sticker price for Bub Means in the 243rd overall pick, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Dominique Hampton at No. 245 is the proof. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Devin Culp at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
