FutureB
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Franklin: B. Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Troy Franklin got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at the 57th overall pick. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
Every board in the league had McGlothern lower, and that gap is the story. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The Hicks pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. They went 4 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Taliese Fuaga
In the 25th pick they get a cornerstone up front, and a steal at that.
Pick56
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
You do not let a cornerback like Quinyon Mitchell reach pick 56 and blink. They did not. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick57
Rnd2
Troy Franklin
Troy Franklin in slot 57 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick90
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Nothing to complain about; Mike Sainristil went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith in Round 3, Pick 28 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick111
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Jaden Hicks while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
Pick115
Rnd4
MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at the 115th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick125
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jarrian Jones in pick No. 125. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick133
Rnd4
Dylan Laube
A reach on Dylan Laube in Round 4, Pick 33; the board had better options right there. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Tommy Eichenberg adds a linebacker and leaves edge rusher, quarterback and other spots untouched.
Pick203
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in slot 203 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 217 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tatum Bethune
A wild overpay on Tatum Bethune in No. 219, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Walter Rouse
They paid sticker price for Walter Rouse in the 246th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
