Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Good, not great, for the Packers: B-.

The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Rasheen Ali at Round 6, Pick 42 regardless, 72 picks early.

Trotter Jr. at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick11 Rnd1 JC Latham
In pick 11 they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick39 Rnd2 Kamari Lassiter
No edge and no loss on Kamari Lassiter in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick43 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
A straight-up fair deal on Troy Fautanu at No. 43, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick75 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A linebacker of that caliber at slot 75 is the definition of value, full stop. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick82 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
By-the-book stuff, Christian Mahogany at Round 3, Pick 18 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick111 Rnd4 Roman Wilson
No drama and no debate, Roman Wilson went about where he belonged in the 111th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks is a better player than No. 135 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick189 Rnd6 Ricky White
They read the board right and Ricky White was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 14. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick217 Rnd6 Rasheen Ali
Value said wait; Rasheen Ali in pick No. 217 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
A wild overpay on Delmar Glaze in the 219th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick232 Rnd7 Sam Hartman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Hartman this early at the Round 7 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
