Somebody in slot 203 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Chau Smith-Wade, the No. 162 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium. More right than wrong, and a B to match.

The cost of the Lindberg reach is exactly the players who went right after him. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. With quarterback, wide receiver and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
In pick No. 25 they get a disruptor off the edge, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 2 slot with a little surplus value in Kamren Kinchens. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 38
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2, Pick 26, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 74
They read the board right and Blake Corum was the payoff at No. 88. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 85
Fair-plus on Gabriel Murphy, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 100
Circle this one: Blake Fisher at the 125th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
No drama and no debate, Tommy Eichenberg went about where he belonged in pick 126. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
Of all the spots to shop, they chose safety. Malik Mustapha in slot 135 leaves quarterback, wide receiver and other spots for later.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 162
Somehow Chau Smith-Wade was still sitting there in pick 203, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 175
Roger Rosengarten at No. 204 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It fills a real need, too.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 191
Taking Kimani Vidal in the Round 6 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 260
They left a pile of value on the table to take Chad Lindberg this early at pick No. 219. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Brevyn Spann-Ford · TE · rank 224
Brevyn Spann-Ford in Round 7, Pick 26 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
