The Packers put a flag in the ground for Kedon Slovis, 85 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. The Schrader value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They punted on interior defensive lineman, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a building block for the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at the 51st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
They reached a country mile for Jaden Hicks at the Round 2 slot, and the board is aghast. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
The board had cheaper options than Christian Mahogany at the 88th pick, and it noticed. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nothing to complain about; Blake Corum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
This one needs a full-page explanation: Luke McCaffrey in pick 124, miles early. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
A real head-scratcher, Brennan Jackson in the 125th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Ben Sinnott in slot 126 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Nathaniel Watson at Round 5, Pick 33 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Johnny Dixon in the 178th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They robbed the room for Cody Schrader here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Kedon Slovis at pick No. 220 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Jalen Sundell at the Round 7 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
