The rest of the league will want that one back. Elijah Jones tumbling to the Packers in the Round 7 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. The bottom line is a respectable B.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Jones pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 15
A slide stopped in the 25th overall pick, with Cooper DeJean worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 42
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kris Jenkins · DL-EDGE · rank 47
Kris Jenkins at slot 58 is money in the bank, a edge rusher taken below his worth. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 67
Somehow Patrick Paul was still sitting there in the Round 3 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 111
Isaac Guerendo at No. 91 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
They reached into another round for Jarrian Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Kitan Oladapo · S · rank 156
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kitan Oladapo in pick 168. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.26 · Pick 201 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 217
A conviction pick on Tanor Bortolini at Round 6, Pick 26 that the board grades a round light. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tanner McLachlan · TE · rank 222
They paid sticker price for Tanner McLachlan in No. 219, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 193
They will replay Elijah Jones at the 245th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 240
The board had Kimani Vidal higher than Round 7, Pick 35, and the running back fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
