For all the boxes ticked, the Packers skipped the loudest one: edge rusher is exactly as bare as it was. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The Trotter Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. Guyton at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
A big swing on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to Round 2, Pick 25. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Tykee Smith at pick 92 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Value with a capital V on Christian Mahogany in pick No. 96, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Malik Washington in the 125th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Jarrian Jones is a better player than slot 135 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Nothing to complain about; Jalen Berger went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 217 with a little surplus value in Sheridan Jones. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
No edge and no loss on Blake Watson in the 219th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
They let Joshua Cephus come to them and pounced at the Round 7 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
