The rest of the league had time to spare on Evan Anderson; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 63 spots ahead at slot 219.
The Fautanu steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a weapon on the perimeter, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
The board fumbled Cooper DeJean all the way to pick 47, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Troy Fautanu in the 58th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in pick No. 88. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They read the board right and Renardo Green was the payoff at Round 3, Pick 28. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Circle this one: Jarvis Brownlee Jr. at the 141st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Somehow Mason McCormick was still sitting there in pick No. 169, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A straight-up fair deal on Jaylan Ford at No. 202, value and slot in agreement. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
They reached a country mile for Evan Anderson at slot 219, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Frank Gore Jr. in the Round 7 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Steal is underselling it; Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 255th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
