You build a draft on nights like this. Jase McClellan had no business being available in No. 219, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Frazier pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 23
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Zach Frazier · C · rank 62
A big swing on Zach Frazier at the Round 2 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson in pick 58 is fair value, right on his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany at No. 88 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 75
Mike Sainristil slipping to the 91st overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in the 126th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at slot 169 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 213
A reach for Caedan Wallace in pick No. 202; a little patience would have been rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 196
They barely believed it either: Jase McClellan still on the board at No. 219. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jalen Sundell · OT · rank 246
They took Jalen Sundell at par in the 245th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 237
Somehow Daijahn Anthony was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
