The rest of the league had time to spare on Javon Foster; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 28 spots ahead at pick 91. The good and the questionable cancel out to a C+.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense. The phones were busy but the ledger stayed level.

Hit on Kool-Aid McKinstry and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 24
A straight-up fair deal on Kool-Aid McKinstry at the 25th pick, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson in Round 2, Pick 26 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Michael Hall Jr. · DT · rank 82
A conviction pick on Michael Hall Jr. at the 71st overall pick that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
No edge and no loss on Dominick Puni in slot 88; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 106
A reach for Braelon Allen in pick No. 90; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
Javon Foster at No. 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 154
Kitan Oladapo at the Round 4 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 188
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Curtis Jacobs in slot 202 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 244
Josh Proctor in No. 219 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
By-the-book stuff, Bub Means at the 245th pick squarely in line with his ranking. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Emani Bailey · RB · rank 262
Emani Bailey in Round 7, Pick 35 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
