The war room fell hard for Isaac Guerendo, and it showed at No. 243: 32 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. It is not that Smith is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Calen Bullock in pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
A tidy little value on Graham Barton in slot 57, a step better than break-even. A need, and now a little less of one.
A curious use of No. 88. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Tykee Smith did not.
They paid a round early for Marshawn Kneeland in pick No. 91, more than the board wanted. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They reached into another round for Dylan Laube, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Good price on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in pick No. 168, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
They took JD Bertrand at par in the 203rd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor need, but a need all the same.
They jumped the gun on Jase McClellan, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaac Guerendo in Round 7, Pick 23, miles early. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
By-the-book stuff, Trey Taylor at the 251st pick squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
