Future B-

If confidence were a draft strategy, the Packers would have aced it. Jackson Sirmon at Round 7, Pick 25 is 52 spots clear of where he belonged. No fireworks, but a solid B-.

For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. The Dixon pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 6 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at pick No. 25 squarely in line with his ranking. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 39
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Robinson at the 41st pick, value and slot in agreement. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
Jaylen Wright at slot 58 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cedric Gray in Round 3, Pick 25, miles early. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
A wild overpay on Maason Smith in pick 91, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Jones at the Round 4 slot is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
A real head-scratcher, Tanor Bortolini in pick 169 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Johnny Dixon · CB · rank 190
Johnny Dixon slipping to slot 202 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
They reached a country mile for Jalen Sundell at No. 219, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jackson Sirmon · LB · rank 297
They reached into another round for Jackson Sirmon, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 249
A reasonable price with a little left over, Brevyn Spann-Ford in pick No. 255. It fills a real need, too.
