Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Isaac Rex. He came off 67 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B+.

The Schrader pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R2.9 · Pick 41 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
Graham Barton slipping to No. 41 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 50
Value with a capital V on Kris Jenkins in Round 2, Pick 26, a genuine coup. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
T.J. Tampa is a better player than the 59th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
A premium they did not need to pay, Max Melton a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Gray. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 85
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 105
They paid up for Zak Zinter at pick 91 when waiting would have done the job. The roster fit checks out.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
A conviction pick on Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 23 that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones in No. 126 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Mustapha at the 169th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R6.11 · Pick 186 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
Joe Milton III in slot 186 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 174
Cody Schrader at pick No. 202 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
They went early on Edefuan Ulofoshio in the 219th pick, and the value did not follow. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 231
Tylan Grable in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Isaac Rex · TE · rank 322
Isaac Rex at the 255th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
