The rest of the league had time to spare on Frank Crum; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 40 spots ahead at the Round 7 slot.

The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Smith value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.28 · Pick 28 · Brian Thomas Jr. · WR · rank 26
In the 28th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 39
They paid sticker price for Tyler Nubin in slot 41, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 52
Payton Wilson at pick 58 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 85
A tidy little value on Khyree Jackson in pick No. 88, a step better than break-even. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 91
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 129
Isaac Guerendo at Round 4, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R4.34 · Pick 134 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 146
Mason McCormick at slot 134 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 137
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 144 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at No. 169. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.25 · Pick 200 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 196
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jase McClellan in pick 200. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 210
Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
Nathaniel Watson in the 219th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 270
Trey Taylor in Round 7, Pick 25 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Frank Crum · OT · rank 295
Frank Crum at the 255th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
