The rest of the league will want that one back. Javon Bullard tumbling to the Packers in No. 88 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Prince to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
Cooper DeJean at the 25th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Nice patience on Bo Nix, who had no business lasting to the Round 2 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in Round 2, Pick 26, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Javon Bullard in pick 88, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jermaine Burton in the 91st pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Good price on DJ James in No. 97, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Braelon Allen at slot 115 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Javon Foster. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
The board had Jordan Magee higher than slot 169, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Nathaniel Watson in the 202nd overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 219. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
A conviction pick on Deantre Prince at the Round 7 slot that the board grades a round light. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
No drama and no debate, Frank Crum went about where he belonged in pick 255. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
