You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Charles Turner III in the Round 7 slot. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
The Hopper steal is the beam this whole class leans on. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Kamren Kinchens at the 41st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Steal is underselling it; Keon Coleman at slot 57 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They paid sticker price for Sedrick Van Pran in pick No. 88, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A clean, defensible pick in pick 91 with a little surplus value in McKinnley Jackson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Jaylen Wright at the Round 4 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
LaDarius Henderson in the 168th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 203 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
A wild overpay on Nathaniel Watson in slot 216, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
A big swing on Dwight McGlothern at pick No. 243, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A real head-scratcher, Charles Turner III in pick 251 is miles ahead of his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
