There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Jeremy Moussa a full 173 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

The Smith pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still on the board. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 28
In pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 49
Calen Bullock at slot 41 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
A straight-up fair deal on Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at pick No. 57, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Maason Smith · DT-EDGE · rank 87
A surprising call. With edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still to address, they spent the 88th overall pick on Maason Smith, a DT-EDGE they were not short of.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
By-the-book stuff, Bucky Irving at No. 92 squarely in line with his ranking. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 126
They took Javon Foster at par in the 125th pick, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Beaux Limmer · C · rank 140
No edge and no loss on Beaux Limmer in the 135th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Matthew Jones · OG · rank 233
A big swing on Matthew Jones at pick No. 203, well ahead of any board in the building. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Jeremy Moussa · QB · rank 390
They left a pile of value on the table to take Jeremy Moussa this early at slot 217. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 209
A tidy bit of business in No. 219, where Jase McClellan graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 245
Tatum Bethune at pick 246 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
