The rest of the league will want that one back. Mason McCormick tumbling to the Packers in No. 169 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Reaching for Smith left real value on the table behind him. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
A slide stopped in pick No. 41, with Cooper DeJean worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
Junior Colson at the 58th overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
A tidy little value on Jaden Hicks in the Round 3 slot, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Maason Smith. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
Braelon Allen at No. 126 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
They barely believed it either: Mason McCormick still on the board at slot 169. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Curtis Jacobs at Round 6, Pick 27 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 212
They did well to land Caedan Wallace in Round 6, Pick 44, just ahead of his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
Josh Proctor in No. 245 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 255, where Bub Means graded well above the range. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
