You build a draft on nights like this. Jaylen Wright had no business being available in pick 219, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card.

Shipley has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up.

Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered. Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 19
In No. 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
A reasonable price with a little left over, Chop Robinson in the 41st pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat in the Round 2 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
They reached a country mile for Will Shipley at pick No. 88, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 97
A straight-up fair deal on Tykee Smith at the 91st overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A minor itch, scratched.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
Khyree Jackson in slot 125 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 106
They barely believed it either: Matt Goncalves still on the board at Round 4, Pick 35. The roster fit checks out.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 242
They left a pile of value on the table to take Matthew Jones this early at pick 203. It fills a real need, too.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 163
Somehow LaDarius Henderson was still sitting there in slot 217, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 158
They robbed the room for Jaylen Wright here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 240
Nathaniel Watson at the 246th pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. A minor need, but a need all the same.
