If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

They will need Allen to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 27
In the 25th pick they get protection for the quarterback. A real need, handled.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 59
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in slot 57, which is nothing to complain about. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 72
They paid a round early for Trey Benson in pick 58, more than the board wanted. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 66
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in No. 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 77
They jumped the gun on Christian Haynes, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Caelen Carson · CB · rank 67
A tidy little value on Caelen Carson in Round 3, Pick 7, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 83
Mike Sainristil in pick No. 88 lands just on the right side of the ledger. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
They did well to land McKinnley Jackson in the Round 3 slot, just ahead of his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 106
Marshawn Kneeland in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.7 · Pick 107 · Leonard Taylor III · DL · rank 112
They paid sticker price for Leonard Taylor III in the 107th overall pick, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 128
By-the-book stuff, MarShawn Lloyd at slot 125 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
They talked themselves into Braelon Allen at the 126th pick, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 135
A clean, defensible pick in No. 140 with a little surplus value in Jaheim Bell. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Grayson Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 164
Grayson Murphy in pick No. 141 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.27 · Pick 163 · Andrew Raym · C · rank 187
Andrew Raym at Round 5, Pick 27 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 183
Josh Proctor at pick 181 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
