Somebody in the Round 7 slot was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Jaylin Simpson, the No. 137 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Every board in the league had Tampa lower, and that gap is the story.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
In slot 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
A reach for T.J. Tampa in the 41st overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 38
Circle this one: Xavier Legette at pick 58 is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
Value with a capital V on Jaylen Wright in Round 3, Pick 25, a genuine coup. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 83
Calen Bullock in the 91st pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
Nothing to complain about; Javon Foster went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
Taking James Williams in pick No. 169 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 211
They went early on Drake Nugent in No. 202, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 183
Fabien Lovett at the 219th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jaylin Simpson · CB · rank 137
Steal is underselling it; Jaylin Simpson at Round 7, Pick 25 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Steele Chambers · LB · rank 199
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Steele Chambers in pick No. 255, plain and simple. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
