The rest of the league will want that one back. TreVeyon Henderson tumbling to the Packers in pick No. 161 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
It nets out as a middle-of-the-pack haul that neither helps nor hurts much.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a home-run threat at receiver, outstanding value to boot.
They robbed the room for Ashton Jeanty here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Tyleik Williams in No. 89 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Circle this one: Tyler Warren at pick 126 is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 127th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Jake Majors at pick No. 128 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Tacario Davis at slot 135 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Deone Walker in the Round 5 slot. It fills a real need, too.
You do not let a running back like TreVeyon Henderson reach the 161st pick and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Daylen Everette. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
A slide stopped in the Round 6 slot, with Tory Horton worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Barrett Carter in Round 6, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Kevin Winston Jr. slipping to the 216th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Jonah Monheim in No. 241, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Taking Xavier Nwankpa in pick No. 248 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
