You build a draft on nights like this. Nehemiah Pritchett had no business being available in pick No. 169, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Mustapha pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at wide receiver, tight end and other spots.

The cost of the Carlies reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the wide receiver spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
No drama and no debate, Graham Barton went about where he belonged in slot 25. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Edgerrin Cooper. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Renardo Green · S · rank 71
Renardo Green in the Round 3 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 97
By-the-book stuff, Roger Rosengarten at No. 91 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 114
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 26: Mohamed Kamara for less than the market said. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.28 · Pick 128 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 132
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Malik Mustapha while clear needs at wide receiver, tight end and other spots sat open.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 109
Somehow Zak Zinter was still sitting there in pick 141, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R5.6 · Pick 142 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 131
Javon Foster slipping to pick No. 142 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It fills a real need, too.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 138
Isaac Guerendo in No. 144 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 136
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Nehemiah Pritchett in the 169th overall pick, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 216
Joe Milton III at the 202nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 207
Nathaniel Watson in slot 219 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 221
Dillon Johnson in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.28 · Pick 248 · Jaylon Carlies · S · rank 270
They reached into another round for Jaylon Carlies, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Frank Crum · OT · rank 254
No edge and no loss on Frank Crum in pick 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
