Future B-

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent slot 202 on Trey Taylor, a name most had 67 spots down the list.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Edwards. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.29 · Pick 29 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 23
Good price on Kool-Aid McKinstry in slot 29, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
Kris Jenkins at pick No. 44 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They took Payton Wilson at par in the 58th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.4 · Pick 68 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
Cole Bishop in the 68th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
Dominick Puni at Round 3, Pick 13 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 117
The board had cheaper options than Blake Fisher at pick 103, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 123
They jumped the gun on McKinnley Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Nelson Ceaser · DL-EDGE · rank 165
A conviction pick on Nelson Ceaser at slot 148 that the board grades a round light. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Circle this one: Mason McCormick at the 169th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 269
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Daijun Edwards · RB · rank 189
A running back of that caliber at Round 6, Pick 44 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 242
KT Leveston at pick 245 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 237
Daijahn Anthony at the 255th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
