You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Brandon Coleman in the Round 4 slot. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D- is the result.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 28
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Brian Thomas Jr.. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They paid a round early for Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 41, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 58
Braden Fiske in the 58th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
A tidy little value on Trey Benson in Round 3, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
They jumped the gun on Cole Bishop, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Elijah Jones at No. 126 is the proof. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at slot 128, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.30 · Pick 130 · Brandon Coleman · OL · rank 186
This one needs a full-page explanation: Brandon Coleman in No. 130, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 137
They took Jaylin Simpson at par in the Round 4 slot, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 162
They did well to land Jared Wiley in pick No. 169, just ahead of his grade. The roster fit checks out.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Cedric Johnson · DE-EDGE · rank 226
Value said wait; Cedric Johnson in pick 202 says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
Jordan Magee in Round 6, Pick 44 is fair value, right on his grade. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 293
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dylan McMahon. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.30 · Pick 250 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 266
Trey Taylor in the 250th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Jordan Whittington · WR · rank 249
Jordan Whittington at Round 7, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
