The Packers did not so much draft Edefuan Ulofoshio as overpay for him, 27 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 30
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kalen King · CB · rank 42
Kalen King in pick No. 41 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 54
Good price on Kingsley Suamataia in the 57th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Mike Sainristil · CB · rank 83
A clean, defensible pick in pick 88 with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
They paid sticker price for Zak Zinter in Round 3, Pick 29, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 152
Edefuan Ulofoshio at No. 125 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 151
Braelon Allen in the Round 4 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 215
Darius Muasau at the 203rd overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 220
Taulia Tagovailoa in Round 6, Pick 42 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 217
Daequan Hardy at No. 219 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · DeMonte Capehart · DT · rank 265
DeMonte Capehart at the 246th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The roster fit checks out.
