The weekend has a hole in the middle of it named edge rusher, a need the Packers walked right past. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Fautanu value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They left with cornerback solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The offense got the lion's share of the attention.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get a matchup problem out wide at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Troy Fautanu slipping to Round 2, Pick 9 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Good price on Mike Sainristil in the 88th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Bucky Irving in pick No. 91 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
