Green Bay Packers

More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B- to prove it.

The Packers put a flag in the ground for Devin Leary, 52 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. The Tracy Jr. steal is the beam this whole class leans on. The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 31
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 46
Edgerrin Cooper in slot 41 is fair value, right on his grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in pick 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 74
A quiet steal in Round 3, Pick 25: Jaden Hicks for less than the market said. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 85
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 3 slot with a little surplus value in Khyree Jackson. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 118
Value with a capital V on Elijah Jones in pick No. 126, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 152
The board had Tyrone Tracy Jr. higher than the Round 5 slot, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Gabe Hall · DL · rank 220
A wild overpay on Gabe Hall in No. 202, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
Jordan Magee at the 219th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Evan Anderson · DL · rank 283
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Devin Leary · QB · rank 307
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devin Leary. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
