There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Tommy Eichenberg a full 54 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Anthony.

Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 24
In the Round 1 slot they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Kingsley Suamataia at the 41st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 72
A reach for Sedrick Van Pran in pick 58; a little patience would have been rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in slot 88. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 145
They reached into another round for Tommy Eichenberg, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Kalen King · CB · rank 139
They jumped the gun on Kalen King, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 158
A slide stopped in the 169th overall pick, with Sione Vaki worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 194
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trente Jones at Round 6, Pick 27 is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathan Thomas · OT · rank 228
The board had cheaper options than Nathan Thomas at pick 219, and it noticed. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
Kimani Vidal in the 245th pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 237
Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 255 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
