The rest of the league will want that one back. Elijah Jones tumbling to the Packers in pick No. 243 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Kinchens reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 21
Chop Robinson in slot 25 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
By-the-book stuff, Edgerrin Cooper at pick 41 squarely in line with his ranking. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 73
A reach for Kamren Kinchens in the 58th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · DJ James · CB · rank 87
DJ James at pick No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 96
They took Trey Benson at par in Round 3, Pick 28, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 114
Matt Goncalves in the Round 4 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 147
Tykee Smith in No. 168 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Luke McCaffrey in the 204th pick, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
Tanor Bortolini in Round 6, Pick 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
The board fumbled Elijah Jones all the way to pick 243, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 237
Value with a capital V on Trey Knox in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
