No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Packers. When the story of this class is written, it opens with Roman Hemby at Round 7, Pick 38, a reach of 59 spots that the board flatly disagrees with. No fireworks, but a solid B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. Landing Neal that late papers over a lot of smaller sins.
Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Keith Abney II
Keith Abney II is a better player than the 55th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick84
Rnd3
Domonique Orange
They let Domonique Orange come to them and pounced at slot 84. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick85
Rnd3
Connor Lew
Steal is underselling it; Connor Lew at pick No. 85 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick98
Rnd3
Julian Neal
Circle this one: Julian Neal at the Round 3 slot is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick120
Rnd4
Aaron Graves
Aaron Graves in pick 120 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Keylan Rutledge
They took Keylan Rutledge at par in Round 4, Pick 23, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Tanner Koziol worth more than the price. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Trey Zuhn III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Zuhn III this early at No. 199. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236
Rnd7
Eli Heidenreich
Eli Heidenreich in Round 7, Pick 20 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Roman Hemby
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roman Hemby well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick257
Rnd7
Riley Mahlman
No edge and no loss on Riley Mahlman in the 257th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
