The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. Nobody had Devin Leary this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 52 spots to get him at slot 255. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
They banked enough surplus on Holker to cover a lot of smaller sins. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick26
Rnd1
Graham Barton
Graham Barton in slot 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid sticker price for Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 26, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick97
Rnd3
Ray Davis
A reach on Ray Davis in the 97th overall pick; the board had better options right there. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick115
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
They liked Beaux Limmer enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 126 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Dallin Holker in the 169th pick, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
A tidy bit of business in Round 6, Pick 27, where Tanor Bortolini graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in No. 219, just ahead of his grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in slot 245 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255
Rnd7
Devin Leary
This one needs a full-page explanation: Devin Leary in the 255th overall pick, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
