There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Maurice Smith, 42 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Tampa. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 7 of 8 of the wish list covered.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · JC Latham · OT · rank 18
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens in No. 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
T.J. Tampa at pick 58 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
Tommy Eichenberg at pick No. 88 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · McKinnley Jackson · DL · rank 88
A tidy little value on McKinnley Jackson in Round 3, Pick 28, a step better than break-even. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 133
A reach for Will Shipley in slot 125; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Javion Cohen · OG · rank 149
Javion Cohen at slot 135 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 245
Maurice Smith at the 203rd pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Xavier Thomas · DE-EDGE · rank 255
A real head-scratcher, Xavier Thomas in the Round 6 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 200
De'Corian Clark at the 219th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 211
A slide stopped in pick No. 220, with Sam Hartman worth more than the price. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 275
They reached a country mile for DeMonte Capehart at pick 246, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Ja'Had Carter · S · rank 252
They took Ja'Had Carter at par in Round 7, Pick 27, which is nothing to complain about. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
