The Packers torched the value chart for Jeremy Moussa, taking him 209 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
The Franklin steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
By-the-book stuff, Adonai Mitchell at No. 41 squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They took T'Vondre Sweat at par in the 51st overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Kingsley Suamataia at the 57th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A need, and now a little less of one.
No drama and no debate, Christian Mahogany went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Audric Estime at slot 92 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They reached into another round for Jaylan Ford, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
They read the board right and Jaden Hicks was the payoff at the 135th pick. A minor itch, scratched.
They talked themselves into Stefon Thompson at Round 6, Pick 22, and the board did not agree. This was not a hole anyone had circled.
A straight-up fair deal on Isaiah Davis at pick 217, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Jeremy Moussa at the 219th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They robbed the room for Zakhari Franklin here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
