Nobody else had Cal Haladay anywhere near pick No. 246. The Packers did, by 32 spots, and that gap is the whole story. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.

Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Williams pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. Kinchens at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

Value over need was the throughline, for better and worse.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Taliese Fuaga · OT · rank 17
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 25
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamren Kinchens at slot 41 is the proof. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 64
By-the-book stuff, Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick 57 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jalen McMillan · WR · rank 87
A straight-up fair deal on Jalen McMillan at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 96
McKinnley Jackson in the 92nd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 120
Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 25 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · James Williams · S · rank 128
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 190
They let Miyan Williams come to them and pounced at the 203rd pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Turner Corcoran · OT · rank 206
Turner Corcoran at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 208
Tatum Bethune in slot 219 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Cal Haladay · LB · rank 278
A big swing on Cal Haladay at pick 246, well ahead of any board in the building. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
