Somebody in pick 219 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while M.J. Devonshire, the No. 182 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

Bortolini has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 20
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
A reasonable price with a little left over, Keon Coleman in Round 2, Pick 9. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Braden Fiske · DL · rank 53
Nothing to complain about; Braden Fiske went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 65
They will replay Kiran Amegadjie at the 88th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · DJ James · CB · rank 87
DJ James in the 91st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
Cole Bishop at No. 125 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 159
They let Mason McCormick come to them and pounced at pick 168. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.26 · Pick 201 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
They jumped the gun on Tanor Bortolini, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 182
M.J. Devonshire at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Ryan Cooper Jr. · CB · rank 230
They read the board right and Ryan Cooper Jr. was the payoff at No. 245. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 257
They paid sticker price for Tatum Bethune in slot 255, and that is fine. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
