Grand theft in slot 255: the Packers steal Thomas and grade out a B-.

When a board-topper like Nathan Thomas slides to No. 255, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. Every board in the league had Bishop lower, and that gap is the story.

They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41 Rnd2 Ladd McConkey
They did well to land Ladd McConkey in pick 41, just ahead of his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick58 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
A straight-up fair deal on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at No. 58, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88 Rnd3 Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 88th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in slot 91. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in the 126th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick169 Rnd5 Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in pick No. 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202 Rnd6 Jared Wiley
They took Jared Wiley at par in the Round 6 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219 Rnd6 Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace in No. 219 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick245 Rnd7 Kalen DeLoach
Kalen DeLoach in the 245th pick is fair value, right on his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick255 Rnd7 Nathan Thomas
Nathan Thomas in the 255th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
