The Mason McCormick pick is the one that will follow the Packers into the fall. They took him 26 spots ahead of his grade, and the board is not shy about saying so.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Melton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 21
In the Round 1 slot they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.12 · Pick 44 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 48
A straight-up fair deal on Edgerrin Cooper at pick 44, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Kiran Amegadjie in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 67
Max Melton in Round 3, Pick 25 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 77
A quiet steal in slot 91: Andru Phillips for less than the market said. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · Hunter Nourzad · C · rank 118
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Hunter Nourzad. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 152
They reached into another round for Mason McCormick, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
R5.12 · Pick 148 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 151
Trevin Wallace in No. 148 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · James Williams · LB · rank 173
No edge and no loss on James Williams in Round 5, Pick 33; it is a wash and a sensible one. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 210
Kimani Vidal in pick 202 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Bub Means · WR · rank 228
The board had cheaper options than Bub Means at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Ryan Watts · CB · rank 233
A slide stopped in the 245th overall pick, with Ryan Watts worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 252
A tidy little value on Daequan Hardy in slot 255, a step better than break-even. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
