Good, not great, for the Packers: B-. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Ethan Downs at the 250th pick, roughly 36 spots before his name belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B-.
Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. However the rest shakes out, Horton at that price is a win they earned. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Derrick Harmon
In the 23rd pick they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick56
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at No. 56 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darien Porter
They read the board right and Darien Porter was the payoff at slot 87. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick109
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
They did well to land Jared Wilson in pick 109, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton is a better player than pick No. 124 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick159
Rnd5
Chase Lundt
A premium they did not need to pay, Chase Lundt a notch or two before his time. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
They went early on Joshua Gray in Round 6, Pick 22, and the value did not follow. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206
Rnd6
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in pick 206 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jermari Harris
Jermari Harris at the 237th pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
Ethan Downs in the Round 7 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
