The Hayden Hatten pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 55 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Getting Trotter Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 26th overall pick they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
They paid a round early for Mekhi Wingo in the 57th pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at Round 3, Pick 25 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
They liked Blake Fisher enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 91. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jaylen Wright in pick 125, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Javion Cohen at No. 135 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
By-the-book stuff, Tanor Bortolini at pick 203 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A wild overpay on Stefon Thompson in slot 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Sam Hartman in the Round 6 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A tidy little value on Sheridan Jones in pick No. 219, a step better than break-even. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Hayden Hatten well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
