Somebody in the 202nd overall pick was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Dwight McGlothern, the No. 161 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

The Nourzad pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain. The trade work was a quiet net positive.

The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.27 · Pick 59 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 45
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing T'Vondre Sweat in the 59th pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.30 · Pick 62 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in pick 62, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Payton Wilson at Round 3, Pick 5 is the proof. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 80
Marshawn Kneeland slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the edge rusher. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the 91st overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.23 · Pick 123 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
By-the-book stuff, Ben Sinnott at slot 123 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 159
Hunter Nourzad at No. 126 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
A straight-up fair deal on Malik Mustapha at pick No. 169, value and slot in agreement. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
Dwight McGlothern in No. 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Keith Randolph Jr. · DL-EDGE · rank 218
They took Keith Randolph Jr. at par in the 219th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 259
A real head-scratcher, Sam Hartman in the 228th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
They read the board right and Trevin Wallace was the payoff at pick 245. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
You do not let a linebacker like JD Bertrand reach pick No. 255 and blink. They did not. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Daijahn Anthony · CB · rank 237
The board fumbled Daijahn Anthony all the way to slot 256, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.39 · Pick 257 · Miyan Williams · RB · rank 255
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Miyan Williams. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
