The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Kyle Hergel, taking him 138 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend. Nothing gained and nothing lost at the table.

Hit on T'Vondre Sweat and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
In the Round 1 slot they get a run-stuffing presence up front, a steep price for the projection.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
This one needs a full-page explanation: Cooper Beebe in Round 2, Pick 9, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 96
They reached a country mile for Audric Estime at the 71st overall pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
They jumped the gun on Tykee Smith, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 125
A wild overpay on Tommy Eichenberg in the 92nd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 142
They left a pile of value on the table to take Dylan Laube this early at pick 99. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 138
A conviction pick on Ben Sinnott at the 125th overall pick that the board grades a round light. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.33 · Pick 133 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 134
Kamal Hadden at Round 4, Pick 33 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 133
No drama and no debate, Cam Hart went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Braiden McGregor · DL-EDGE · rank 198
Braiden McGregor at the 168th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Jalen Green · S · rank 208
No edge and no loss on Jalen Green in No. 203; it is a wash and a sensible one. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Cal Haladay · LB · rank 262
A real head-scratcher, Cal Haladay in pick No. 217 is miles ahead of his ranking. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Hayden Hatten · WR · rank 301
Hayden Hatten at pick 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Kyle Hergel · OG · rank 384
Value said wait; Kyle Hergel in slot 246 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
