Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Tanner McLachlan. He came off 47 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

Wright at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots went begging.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In pick No. 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 24
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Franklin at the 41st pick. It fills a real need, too.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 56
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at slot 57 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Cooper Beebe in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 84
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take Marist Liufau, a linebacker that was not the priority.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 138
Sione Vaki at pick 126 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Renardo Green · S · rank 153
A quiet steal in slot 168: Renardo Green for less than the market said. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 163
Jaylen Wright in Round 6, Pick 28 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 251
A wild overpay on Trevor Keegan in the 216th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Tanner McLachlan · TE · rank 290
A big swing on Tanner McLachlan at pick No. 243, well ahead of any board in the building. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Jontrey Hunter · S · rank 237
They read the board right and Jontrey Hunter was the payoff at pick 251. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
