The one they had to fix is still broken. The Packers left edge rusher untouched, and that omission hangs over an otherwise reasonable haul. The bottom line is a respectable B-.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Laube. They are betting Lloyd proves the room right and everyone else wrong. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
Fair-plus on Byron Murphy II, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Tyler Nubin in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
By-the-book stuff, Mike Sainristil at the 58th pick squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Dominick Puni at No. 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
A reach on MarShawn Lloyd in pick No. 91; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A quiet steal in slot 126: Cedric Gray for less than the market said. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They read the board right and Dylan Laube was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 33. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
