The Packers did not so much draft Jase McClellan as overpay for him, 56 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. However the rest shakes out, Haynes at that price is a win they earned.

The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.16 · Pick 16 · JC Latham · OT · rank 17
JC Latham at pick 16 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 42
Troy Fautanu in Round 2, Pick 7 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 43
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on T.J. Tampa. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.16 · Pick 48 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 52
A straight-up fair deal on Brian Thomas Jr. at the 48th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. It fills a real need, too.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 73
They took Kamren Kinchens at par in slot 75, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 82
McKinnley Jackson at the 82nd pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 89
You do not let an offensive lineman like Christian Haynes reach pick No. 111 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 128
Good price on Khyree Jackson in slot 135, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.14 · Pick 189 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 204
They went early on Curtis Jacobs in the 189th pick, and the value did not follow. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.19 · Pick 194 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 250
Jase McClellan at No. 194 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 260
Sam Hartman at Round 6, Pick 42 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Steve Linton · LB-EDGE · rank 209
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Steve Linton in the Round 6 slot. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 246
They paid a round early for Julian Pearl in pick 232, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
