The Medrano reach set a tone the Packers could not shake: F. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Kain Medrano at pick 253, roughly 60 spots before his name belonged. A F, plain and simple.
Evans falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers.
There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Ashton Jeanty
In the 23rd overall pick they get an every-down engine for the run game, and a steal at that. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the Round 1 slot they get a weapon on the perimeter at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick25
Rnd1
Matthew Golden
In the 25th pick they get a go-to option on the outside, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Somehow Walter Nolen was still sitting there in pick 54, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick55
Rnd2
Derrick Harmon
You do not let an interior defensive lineman like Derrick Harmon reach pick No. 55 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at slot 56 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jordan Burch
No edge and no loss on Jordan Burch in the 87th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick124
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick 124 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
Circle this one: Cam Skattebo at the Round 4 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick158
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
A premium they did not need to pay, Quincy Riley a notch or two before his time. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at No. 159 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 169 with a little surplus value in Jonah Monheim. It fills a real need, too.
Pick198
Rnd6
Mitchell Evans
Mitchell Evans in slot 198 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
CJ West
A reach on CJ West in Round 6, Pick 23; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick237
Rnd7
Brady Cook
Brady Cook at the 237th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nick Martin
They paid up for Nick Martin at the Round 7 slot when waiting would have done the job. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick253
Rnd7
Kain Medrano
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Kain Medrano well ahead of where he belonged. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick256
Rnd7
Justin Walley
They reached a country mile for Justin Walley at slot 256, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
