Future B-

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Dwight McGlothern, the Round 6 slot, roughly 29 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.

It is not that Taylor-Demerson is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
No edge and no loss on Tyler Nubin in slot 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 43
They read the board right and Payton Wilson was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 83
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at safety with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in pick 91. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 117
Sataoa Laumea at pick No. 127 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 159
Nice patience on Mason McCormick, who had no business lasting to the 168th pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 175
Dwight McGlothern at No. 204 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 196
You do not let a linebacker like Jaylan Ford reach the 216th overall pick and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Tayvion Robinson · WR · rank 234
The board had Tayvion Robinson higher than pick 243, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Josh Wallace · CB · rank 253
By-the-book stuff, Josh Wallace at No. 251 squarely in line with his ranking. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
