FutureC+
The Packers landed square in the muddy middle: C+. The Packers went off the board in a big way for Devin Culp, 48 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A weekend of give and take that grades a C+.
That Wilson pick is the receipt they will wave around later. On the needs board they went 8 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.
The verdict is a shrug for now, with the swing picks left to write the real ending.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the Round 1 slot they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
Pick51
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Nothing to complain about; Jonathon Brooks went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 26, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick84
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marshawn Kneeland in pick 84. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Renardo Green
Renardo Green is a better player than the 88th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick105
Rnd4
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 105th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick110
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
Nice patience on DeWayne Carter, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
No drama and no debate, Beaux Limmer went about where he belonged in No. 123. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
A conviction pick on Roger Rosengarten at slot 126 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They paid up for Jarrian Jones at pick 127 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick128
Rnd4
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 128th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 35 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
The board had cheaper options than Kitan Oladapo at the 144th overall pick, and it noticed. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick No. 160 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick163
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at pick No. 163 squarely in line with his ranking. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick169
Rnd5
Johnny Wilson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Johnny Wilson in Round 5, Pick 33, plain and simple. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick181
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
A tidy little value on Khristian Boyd in the Round 6 slot, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick189
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They went early on Joe Milton III in the 189th overall pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick195
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They jumped the gun on Jaylan Ford, taking him earlier than his grade liked. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick202
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace at No. 202 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
They paid a round early for Trevin Wallace in slot 219, more than the board wanted. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick225
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 225 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Trey Taylor well ahead of where he belonged. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick253
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
They will replay JD Bertrand at No. 253 for years; that is how good the value is. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick255
Rnd7
Omar Brown
They left a pile of value on the table to take Omar Brown this early at pick 255. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick256
Rnd7
Devin Culp
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Devin Culp. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
