Green Bay Packers

A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B-.

The Packers did not so much draft Trey Taylor as overpay for him, 54 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 29
In the 25th pick they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
Edgerrin Cooper in pick No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
A safety of that caliber at No. 58 is the definition of value, full stop. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 70
Blake Fisher in slot 88 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
No drama and no debate, Trey Benson went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 28. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 147
A want over a need in pick 127: Tykee Smith adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
You do not let a cornerback like Jarrian Jones reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 175
Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 204 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 240
They reached into another round for Kimani Vidal, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 297
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 304
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Dallas Gant. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
