There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for KT Leveston, 132 picks ahead of schedule. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

The Polk steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.26 · Pick 26 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 20
In slot 26 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 38
A tidy little value on T.J. Tampa in the Round 2 slot, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 39
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Guyton at the 57th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Ja'Lynn Polk · WR · rank 55
Ja'Lynn Polk in pick No. 88 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Beau Brade · S · rank 111
They left a pile of value on the table to take Beau Brade this early at the 91st overall pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 122
They did well to land Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 126, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
Nothing to complain about; Dadrion Taylor-Demerson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
By-the-book stuff, Christian Jones at the 203rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 177
They will replay Frank Gore Jr. at pick 204 for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.9 · Pick 229 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 220
Omar Speights at slot 229 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
Isaac Guerendo in No. 243 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · KT Leveston · OT · rank 383
They reached into another round for KT Leveston, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
