Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent pick No. 243 on Isaac Guerendo, a name the board had a full 52 spots lower. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Getting Fuaga where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 17
In pick No. 25 they get a long-term starter on the line at a price that makes it sweeter.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 41st pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in slot 58, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
They liked Marshawn Kneeland enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jarvis Brownlee Jr. · CB · rank 109
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jarvis Brownlee Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
They talked themselves into Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 127, and the board did not agree. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Javon Baker · WR · rank 186
Javon Baker in Round 5, Pick 32 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 210
This one needs a full-page explanation: Christian Jones in pick 188, miles early. The roster fit checks out.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 207
JD Bertrand in the 204th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 209
Rasheen Ali at pick No. 216 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 295
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Isaac Guerendo well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 261
They paid a round early for Trevor Keegan in the Round 7 slot, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
