There is a lot to like until you notice quarterback is still a hole. The Packers never got to the one that mattered most.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Adams. They are betting Crumedy proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
Quinyon Mitchell in the Round 1 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Kamren Kinchens at slot 41 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in pick 57, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Gabriel Murphy in Round 3, Pick 25 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A straight-up fair deal on Audric Estime at the 91st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in the 125th pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Nice patience on Isaiah Adams, who had no business lasting to pick No. 135. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They went early on Tanor Bortolini in No. 203, and the value did not follow. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A reach on J.J. Weaver in pick 217; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jaden Crumedy at pick No. 219 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
The board had cheaper options than Walter Rouse at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. A need, and now a little less of one.
