The curious call sets the tone. With edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still glaring, the Packers used the Round 4 slot on Beau Brade, a safety they were not exactly short of.

Brade at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.19 · Pick 19 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 16
Nothing to complain about; Nate Wiggins went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 27
Kamari Lassiter slid further than he should have, and the 41st overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.19 · Pick 51 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 44
They did well to land Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2, Pick 19, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.19 · Pick 83 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 94
Bucky Irving at slot 83 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
No drama and no debate, Tykee Smith went about where he belonged in pick No. 92. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.19 · Pick 119 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 110
Tommy Eichenberg is a better player than the 119th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Beau Brade · S · rank 116
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Beau Brade adds a safety and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
R6.22 · Pick 197 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 202
Curtis Jacobs in Round 6, Pick 22 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Turner Corcoran · OT · rank 207
Turner Corcoran slipping to pick 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 209
Value with a capital V on Tatum Bethune in slot 219, a genuine coup. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.20 · Pick 240 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 238
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cody Schrader. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
