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
In slot 26 they get a disruptive interior force. A clean fit for the roster.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Omar Speights at slot 229 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A minor itch, scratched.
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.
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.
