The Trey Taylor selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 100 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered. The final tally is a middling C+.

They punted on quarterback, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Call it incomplete, and check back in a couple of seasons.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
The board had cheaper options than Payton Wilson at slot 41, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Max Melton. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Mason McCormick at the 88th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khristian Boyd · DL-EDGE · rank 177
A big swing on Khristian Boyd at the 91st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 128
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Isaac Guerendo. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 269
Trey Taylor at the Round 5 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Garret Greenfield · OT · rank 216
Garret Greenfield at Round 6, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
They talked themselves into Jalen Sundell at the 219th pick, and the board did not agree. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trajan Jeffcoat · DL-EDGE · rank 308
This one needs a full-page explanation: Trajan Jeffcoat in slot 245, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 254
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Owens at pick No. 255, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
