A sensible, unshowy class lands the Packers a B.

Future B-

Of all the ways to open, the Packers chose the head-scratcher, spending Round 4, Pick 25 on Cole Bishop with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still wide open. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Speights.

Every board in the league had Wedig lower, and that gap is the story.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 31
They read the board right and Tyler Nubin was the payoff at the Round 2 slot. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 53
Kiran Amegadjie in slot 57 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
They went early on DeWayne Carter in Round 3, Pick 25, and the value did not follow. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 80
A quiet steal in the 89th overall pick: Christian Mahogany for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
By-the-book stuff, Bucky Irving at the 91st pick squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 127
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Cole Bishop while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 131
They did well to land Cedric Gray in pick No. 135, just ahead of his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Kingsley Eguakun · C · rank 214
The board had cheaper options than Kingsley Eguakun at pick 203, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 201
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Omar Speights at Round 6, Pick 42 is the proof. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 212
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sheridan Jones in No. 219. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Trey Wedig · OT · rank 260
Trey Wedig in pick 246 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
