The Packers put a flag in the ground for Tanner Mordecai, 59 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Rosengarten at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 14
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 34
A clean, defensible pick in pick 41 with a little surplus value in Troy Fautanu. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 71
They paid a round early for Byron Murphy II in the 57th pick, more than the board wanted. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Audric Estime · RB · rank 104
Audric Estime in No. 88 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 95
Tykee Smith at the 92nd overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 120
Khyree Jackson at the Round 4 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 150
Jaylan Ford at pick No. 135 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Stefon Thompson · OLB-EDGE · rank 228
Stefon Thompson at the 203rd overall pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fits a board better than it fits this team.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 200
Roger Rosengarten is a better player than pick 217 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Isaiah Davis · RB · rank 215
Nothing to complain about; Isaiah Davis went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Tanner Mordecai · QB · rank 305
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tanner Mordecai. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
