The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took McCallan Castles at pick No. 253 regardless, 78 picks early. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Means pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 31
In the 25th overall pick they get protection for the quarterback at fair value.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 64
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 74
They paid sticker price for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 69, and that is fine. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 92
Cole Bishop in No. 91 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · DJ James · CB · rank 93
DJ James at slot 95 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 97
Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 110 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 157
Myles Cole at Round 4, Pick 26 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 210
A big swing on Kimani Vidal at pick No. 169, well ahead of any board in the building. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R5.37 · Pick 173 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 158
They read the board right and Jaylin Simpson was the payoff at slot 173. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 205
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edefuan Ulofoshio. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 253
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in pick 219 is miles ahead of his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.33 · Pick 253 · McCallan Castles · TE · rank 331
McCallan Castles at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 228
Bub Means in the 255th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
