The rest of the league will want that one back. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. tumbling to the Packers in the 57th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Harris has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.32 · Pick 32 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
In the Round 1 slot they get a downhill hitter at safety. Need was not the driver here.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 26
They let Jordan Morgan come to them and pounced at No. 41. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 37
A cornerback of that caliber at slot 57 is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
They took Bucky Irving at par in pick No. 89, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 89
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at the 91st pick, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.32 · Pick 95 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 103
They paid up for Marshawn Kneeland at Round 3, Pick 32 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 128
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 126 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 165
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at the 168th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 208
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 28. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 207
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Rasheen Ali at the 216th overall pick is the proof. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Marcus Harris · DE-EDGE · rank 256
Marcus Harris in slot 243 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 238
Value with a capital V on Darius Muasau in the Round 7 slot, a genuine coup. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
