The Sam Hartman selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 40 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.
The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Landing Smith that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick No. 25 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Braden Fiske in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
T.J. Tampa at pick 58 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Cooper Beebe slipping to Round 3, Pick 25 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The roster fit checks out.
A tidy bit of business in the 91st overall pick, where Dadrion Taylor-Demerson graded well above the range. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Justin Eboigbe in No. 127, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Tykee Smith at pick 168 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
A reach on Tanor Bortolini in the 204th overall pick; the board had better options right there. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 216. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Sam Hartman in slot 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
By-the-book stuff, Tatum Bethune at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
