The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Trotter Jr.: C+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Jeremiah Trotter Jr., the No. 67 name on the board, should have been long gone before the 88th overall pick. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting Taylor proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
They gave back a little on the phones for the right to move. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
They took Kool-Aid McKinstry at par in pick No. 25, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Sedrick Van Pran
A reach on Sedrick Van Pran in the Round 2 slot; the board had better options right there. The roster fit checks out.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at slot 91 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Good price on Javon Foster in the 126th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Mustapha at Round 5, Pick 33, value and slot in agreement. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick205
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They paid sticker price for Jaylan Ford in the 205th pick, and that is fine. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
A reasonable price with a little left over, Caedan Wallace in slot 219. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell in the 245th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick249
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Taylor this early at Round 7, Pick 29. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick255
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
No drama and no debate, Sam Hartman went about where he belonged in No. 255. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in pick No. 256 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick257
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
By-the-book stuff, C.J. Hanson at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
