Thirty-one other rooms let Ricky White slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at the 219th overall pick. Highway robbery.
The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Every board in the league had DeJean lower, and that gap is the story. The Kyle Hamilton deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick-by-Pick
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in No. 40. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A conviction pick on Cooper DeJean at the 51st pick that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
TreVeyon Henderson in the 83rd overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A straight-up fair deal on Christian Haynes at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
They took Junior Colson at par in pick 119, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Jalen McMillan in pick No. 120 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Robinson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They robbed the room for Ricky White here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Kamal Hadden at pick No. 240 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
