Nobody else had Isaiah Davis anywhere near the Round 7 slot. The Packers did, by 61 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The bottom line is a respectable B.
That is a linebacker worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
They took Olumuyiwa Fashanu at par in pick No. 11, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Nate Wiggins at the 39th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
J.J. McCarthy in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Tyler Guyton at Round 3, Pick 11 is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
No drama and no debate, TreVeyon Henderson went about where he belonged in pick 83. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
You do not let a linebacker like Marist Liufau reach the 111th overall pick and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A straight-up fair deal on Beau Brade at pick No. 112, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Beaux Limmer in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Ainias Smith at the 149th overall pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A tidy little value on Jacob Cowing in the 189th pick, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
De'Corian Clark at pick 197 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They went early on Omar Speights in No. 217, and the value did not follow. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Sam Hartman in Round 6, Pick 44 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Isaiah Davis at slot 232 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
