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

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 30
In the Round 1 slot they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 46
Calen Bullock in pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 50
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.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 96
A curious use of No. 88. Quarterback, wide receiver and other spots needed the pick; a safety in Tykee Smith did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
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.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 149
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.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
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.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 205
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.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 232
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.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 275
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.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 253
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.
