Green Bay Packers

More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Dallas Gant in pick 245, a good 76 spots before the room expected him. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Job largely done: cornerback settled and 3 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The back end got a real overhaul.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Javon Bullard in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They took Payton Wilson at par in slot 58, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 89
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Value with a capital V on Tykee Smith in pick No. 169, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 196
A tidy little value on Jase McClellan in the 202nd overall pick, a step better than break-even. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Nathaniel Watson. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 321
A wild overpay on Dallas Gant in slot 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
They paid sticker price for Kimani Vidal in pick 255, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
