The rest of the league will want that one back. Dontay Corleone tumbling to the Packers in pick 95 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Zuhn III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R3.8 · Pick 72 · Jake Slaughter · C · rank 55
Jake Slaughter is a better player than Round 3, Pick 8 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.31 · Pick 95 · Dontay Corleone · DT · rank 67
Steal is underselling it; Dontay Corleone at pick No. 95 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Bryce Lance · WR · rank 93
Bryce Lance in No. 115 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.20 · Pick 120 · Treydan Stukes · CB · rank 96
Somehow Treydan Stukes was still sitting there in the Round 4 slot, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Jack Endries · TE · rank 121
Jack Endries at pick 125 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R5.22 · Pick 162 · Charles Demmings · CB · rank 148
The board had Charles Demmings higher than the 162nd pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.30 · Pick 170 · Zane Durant · DT · rank 177
Zane Durant in slot 170 is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.31 · Pick 171 · Bryce Boettcher · LB · rank 170
Bryce Boettcher at the 171st overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.17 · Pick 198 · VJ Payne · S · rank 191
Good price on VJ Payne in the Round 6 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R6.20 · Pick 201 · Cole Payton · QB · rank 193
Cole Payton in No. 201 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.31 · Pick 212 · Le'Veon Moss · RB · rank 203
A slide stopped in pick 212, with Le'Veon Moss worth more than the price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R7.5 · Pick 221 · Trey Zuhn III · OT · rank 241
A big swing on Trey Zuhn III at the 221st overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. It fills a real need, too.
R7.20 · Pick 236 · Bryce Foster · C · rank 248
Bryce Foster at Round 7, Pick 20 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.27 · Pick 243 · TJ Hall · CB · rank 216
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 243 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.31 · Pick 247 · Zavion Thomas · WR · rank 219
You do not let a wide receiver like Zavion Thomas reach the 247th pick and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R7.39 · Pick 255 · Nolan Rucci · OT · rank 250
A tidy little value on Nolan Rucci in slot 255, a step better than break-even. The roster fit checks out.
R7.40 · Pick 256 · Wesley Bissainthe · LB · rank 259
No edge and no loss on Wesley Bissainthe in pick No. 256; it is a wash and a sensible one. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
