When a board-topper like Kalen King slides to the 202nd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.

The Hanson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In slot 25 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper DeJean at the 41st pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
The board had cheaper options than Christian Mahogany at the 88th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
A wild overpay on Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 28, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Cole Bishop in pick No. 126, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Sione Vaki · S · rank 158
Sione Vaki is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Kalen King · CB · rank 139
The board fumbled Kalen King all the way to pick 202, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · C.J. Hanson · OG · rank 263
C.J. Hanson at pick 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Julian Pearl · OT · rank 204
Somehow Julian Pearl was still sitting there in the 245th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 228
Tatum Bethune at Round 7, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
