Future B-

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Kyle Hergel in Round 7, Pick 35. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Coleman pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

The trade work was a quiet net positive.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 20
In the 26th pick they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 28
The board had Graham Barton higher than the 41st overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 63
No edge and no loss on Max Melton in pick No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 70
Circle this one: Blake Fisher at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 90
Marshawn Kneeland in slot 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
Keon Coleman at Round 3, Pick 28 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 155
Cody Schrader in pick 126 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 153
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Malik Mustapha at Round 5, Pick 33. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
Tanor Bortolini at the 202nd overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 196
They robbed the room for Jaylan Ford here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 229
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at the 245th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kyle Hergel · OG · rank 354
A real head-scratcher, Kyle Hergel in No. 255 is miles ahead of his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
