Somewhere a scout is still blinking. The Packers spent the 255th overall pick on Trey Taylor, a name the board had a full 42 spots lower. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Jones. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in the 42nd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They reached into another round for Jaylen Wright, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in No. 88. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Renardo Green. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
By-the-book stuff, Isaac Guerendo at the 107th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A straight-up fair deal on Ben Sinnott at pick 125, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Jarrian Jones at Round 5, Pick 30 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Kitan Oladapo at the 168th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in slot 201, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Tip Reiman at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick No. 245 is fair value, right on his grade. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Trey Taylor at the 255th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
