FutureA+
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Jarrett Kingston, 68 picks early at the 245th pick. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is McClellan. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick48
Rnd2
Junior Colson
No drama and no debate, Junior Colson went about where he belonged in slot 48. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jaden Hicks
By-the-book stuff, Jaden Hicks at Round 2, Pick 26 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the 88th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in No. 91 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Audric Estime
Audric Estime at pick No. 126 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick139
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha at No. 139 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick169
Rnd5
James Williams
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on James Williams. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick202
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 27 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edefuan Ulofoshio in pick 218. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick219
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They read the board right and Nathaniel Watson was the payoff at the Round 6 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick236
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They did well to land Trey Taylor in the 236th pick, just ahead of his grade. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jarrett Kingston
They reached into another round for Jarrett Kingston, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick250
Rnd7
Jowon Briggs
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jowon Briggs in slot 250, miles early. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jase McClellan
They robbed the room for Jase McClellan here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
