You build a draft on nights like this. Cornelius Johnson had no business being available in Round 7, Pick 25, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The cost of the Reed reach is exactly the players who went right after him. For all the activity, tight end went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 28
In slot 25 they get an island corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 42
Chris Braswell in Round 2, Pick 9 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
Kingsley Suamataia in the 58th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 88
A straight-up fair deal on Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the Round 3 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 89
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Trey Benson. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 116
They let Cedric Gray come to them and pounced at the 126th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 189
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 181
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Austin Reed · QB · rank 274
This one needs a full-page explanation: Austin Reed in Round 6, Pick 44, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Cornelius Johnson · WR · rank 186
Taking Cornelius Johnson in the 245th pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. The roster fit checks out.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Ethan Driskell · OT · rank 264
Ethan Driskell at pick 255 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
