Green Bay Packers

The Packers let Torrence fall and pounced. Final grade: B-.

The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Ro Torrence, the No. 177 name on the board, sitting there at No. 202 like a gift left on the doorstep. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. If Hunt pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.8 · Pick 40 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Javon Bullard in Round 2, Pick 8 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 41 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 66
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 79
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brandon Dorlus at the 88th pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at slot 91, value and slot in agreement. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Nothing to complain about; Brenden Rice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jalyx Hunt · DE-EDGE · rank 151
They reached a country mile for Jalyx Hunt at the 126th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Tip Reiman · TE · rank 182
Tip Reiman at Round 6, Pick 13 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Ro Torrence · CB · rank 177
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ro Torrence in the 202nd pick, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Myles Harden · CB · rank 209
A slide stopped in slot 219, with Myles Harden worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 256
Tyrice Knight at pick No. 245 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jackson Mitchell · LB · rank 269
The board had cheaper options than Jackson Mitchell at No. 255, and it noticed. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
