The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Trey Taylor went at pick 243, a good 54 picks before the board was ready. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 24
In slot 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
Edgerrin Cooper at the 41st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 61
By-the-book stuff, Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 84
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in pick No. 88, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in pick 111; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 147
A wild overpay on Tykee Smith in the 123rd pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 136
They jumped the gun on Theo Johnson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.7 · Pick 143 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
Jarrian Jones in Round 5, Pick 7 is fair value, right on his grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
Fair-plus on Luke McCaffrey, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 199
Joe Milton III at pick 204 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 240
Kimani Vidal at the Round 6 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 297
A big swing on Trey Taylor at the 243rd pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 304
Value said wait; Dallas Gant in the 251st overall pick says they were not listening. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
