Nobody else had Kingsley Eguakun anywhere near the Round 6 slot. The Packers did, by 33 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.
Watts at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a disruptor off the edge at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
T'Vondre Sweat at pick No. 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
No drama and no debate, Mekhi Wingo went about where he belonged in the 57th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Cooper Beebe in the 88th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
Audric Estime in Round 3, Pick 29 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Javon Foster at pick 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaylan Ford well ahead of where he belonged. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A real head-scratcher, Michael Barrett in the 168th overall pick is miles ahead of his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Kingsley Eguakun at slot 203 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It fills a real need, too.
Nice patience on Christian Jones, who had no business lasting to pick 216. A need, and now a little less of one.
You do not let a cornerback like Ryan Watts reach the Round 7 slot and blink. They did not. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Isaiah Neyor in the 251st pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
