Future B-

You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Dylan McMahon in pick 255. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.

However the rest shakes out, Jacobs at that price is a win they earned. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Good work on the whole, with interior defensive lineman the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
A quiet steal in the 25th overall pick: Olumuyiwa Fashanu for less than the market said. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 52
Junior Colson in the 58th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
Kris Jenkins at Round 3, Pick 2 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
They took Jaylen Wright at par in No. 71, which is nothing to complain about. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kris Abrams-Draine · CB · rank 81
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kris Abrams-Draine in slot 88. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at pick 91 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.33 · Pick 96 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 126
No drama and no debate, Johnny Wilson went about where he belonged in the 126th pick. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
Jared Wiley in pick No. 202 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Curtis Jacobs · LB · rank 198
Somehow Curtis Jacobs was still sitting there in pick 219, and they pounced on premier linebacker value. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.16 · Pick 236 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
Sam Hartman at No. 236 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 256
A conviction pick on Tyrice Knight at the 245th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 293
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dylan McMahon well ahead of where he belonged. A need, and now a little less of one.
