The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Roger Rosengarten, taking him 47 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Magee at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 4 of 8 of the wish list covered.
A fair-value weekend of trading, no edge to be found.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
R1.25
· Pick 25
· Terrion Arnold
· CB
· rank 18
In pick No. 25 they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9
· Pick 41
· Tyler Nubin
· S
· rank 40
Tyler Nubin at the 41st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26
· Pick 58
· Edgerrin Cooper
· LB
· rank 49
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edgerrin Cooper in the 58th pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25
· Pick 88
· Roger Rosengarten
· OT
· rank 135
They left a pile of value on the table to take Roger Rosengarten this early at Round 3, Pick 25. The roster fit checks out.
R3.28
· Pick 91
· Dominick Puni
· OT
· rank 89
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in No. 91, and that is fine. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.3
· Pick 103
· Maason Smith
· DT
· rank 111
A premium they did not need to pay, Maason Smith a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.5
· Pick 141
· Mohamed Kamara
· DL-EDGE
· rank 133
Mohamed Kamara slipping to pick No. 141 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.26
· Pick 162
· Mason McCormick
· OT
· rank 146
Mason McCormick slid further than he should have, and No. 162 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.25
· Pick 245
· Jordan Magee
· LB
· rank 222
Jordan Magee in pick 245 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
