When a board-topper like Nathan Thomas slides to No. 255, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They are betting Williams proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 23
In pick No. 25 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 39
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at pick 41, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.28 · Pick 60 · Max Melton · CB · rank 67
They paid sticker price for Max Melton in the 60th overall pick, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Somehow Kiran Amegadjie was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 79
Taking Jermaine Burton in Round 4, Pick 26 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 117
They let Will Shipley come to them and pounced at slot 128. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 118
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Hunter Nourzad at No. 133 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.24 · Pick 160 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 142
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Kitan Oladapo in the 160th pick, plain and simple. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · James Williams · LB · rank 173
James Williams in slot 169 is fair value, right on his grade. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 160
Steal is underselling it; Cornelius Johnson at No. 202 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Evan Williams · S · rank 232
Evan Williams in the Round 6 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 233
Ryan Watts slipping to Round 7, Pick 25 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 198
The board fumbled Nathan Thomas all the way to pick 255, and they scooped it up. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
