The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jeremiah Trotter Jr., the 91st overall pick, roughly 23 picks past where he belonged.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. It is not that Trotter Jr. is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.

They are betting Keegan proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 26
In the 25th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper in pick 43 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Renardo Green · S · rank 78
Renardo Green in the 66th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 68
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the Round 3 slot on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. with quarterback, running back and other spots unsolved.
R4.4 · Pick 104 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
Javon Foster at pick No. 104 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 136
A reach on Jarrian Jones in No. 126; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 144
They paid up for Trevor Keegan at Round 4, Pick 28 when waiting would have done the job. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
They went early on Mason McCormick in slot 134, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Tyrone Tracy Jr. · WR · rank 150
Tyrone Tracy Jr. at the 144th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Jalyx Hunt · DE-EDGE · rank 152
They let Jalyx Hunt come to them and pounced at pick 169. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.34 · Pick 170 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 153
Kitan Oladapo slid further than he should have, and the Round 5 slot is lovely value for the safety. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 262
They took Trey Taylor at par in the 255th pick, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
