A weekend the Packers spent fighting the board, and losing. F. The Devin Culp selection is the head-turner. The Packers reached 48 spots for him, and it will define how this weekend is remembered.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Jacobs pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Jared Verse
In the 26th pick they get a bendy edge with upside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick27
Rnd1
Jer'Zhan Newton
In pick 27 they get a wrecking ball inside, outstanding value to boot.
Pick28
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In No. 28 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick30
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In pick No. 30 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick53
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in Round 2, Pick 21 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick66
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
A market-rate wide receiver, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Devontez Walker. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in the 88th pick, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick90
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A conviction pick on Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil slipping to Round 3, Pick 28 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick104
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
No edge and no loss on Braelon Allen in slot 104; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 105th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick110
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
Beaux Limmer at pick No. 110 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick114
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
They jumped the gun on Ben Sinnott, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick116
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They went early on Johnny Wilson in No. 116, and the value did not follow. The roster fit checks out.
Pick120
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They paid up for Isaac Guerendo at slot 120 when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick121
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara in the Round 4 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Javon Foster
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 26 with a little surplus value in Javon Foster. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at pick 127 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It fills a real need, too.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the 131st pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick133
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
They paid a round early for Tommy Eichenberg in No. 133, more than the board wanted. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick136
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
A reach on Dallin Holker in pick No. 136; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick138
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They liked Luke McCaffrey enough to skip the value, taking him in the 138th overall pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick140
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A reach for Kitan Oladapo in the 140th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick145
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
The board had cheaper options than Hunter Nourzad at the 145th pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick147
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis in pick 147 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick153
Rnd5
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick No. 153 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at slot 154 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick155
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joe Milton III well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jacob Cowing
Nice patience on Jacob Cowing, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick162
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A premium they did not need to pay, Khristian Boyd a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in Round 5, Pick 33, more than the board wanted. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181
Rnd6
Kamal Hadden
Kamal Hadden slid further than he should have, and the 181st overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick186
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
By-the-book stuff, Jordan Jefferson at No. 186 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick188
Rnd6
Trente Jones
They took Trente Jones at par in pick No. 188, which is nothing to complain about. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick189
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick 189 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick196
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
The board had Fabien Lovett higher than the 196th pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Cornelius Johnson worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick209
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Trevin Wallace. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick210
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in the 210th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. The roster fit checks out.
Pick218
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 218 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
A wild overpay on Trey Taylor in the 219th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick225
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at the Round 7 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick228
Rnd7
Curtis Jacobs
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Curtis Jacobs in pick 228, plain and simple. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick236
Rnd7
JD Bertrand
They let JD Bertrand come to them and pounced at slot 236. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick245
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony in Round 7, Pick 25 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
They paid sticker price for Jalen Sundell in No. 247, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
They paid up for Ryan Watts at Round 7, Pick 30 when waiting would have done the job. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick253
Rnd7
Omar Brown
This one needs a full-page explanation: Omar Brown in pick No. 253, miles early. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick255
Rnd7
Devin Culp
Value said wait; Devin Culp in the 255th pick says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
