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
In the 28th pick they get a No. 1 receiver. A real need, handled.
They paid sticker price for Tyler Nubin in slot 41, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
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.
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.
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
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.
Mason McCormick at slot 134 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The roster fit checks out.
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 144 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They let Tykee Smith come to them and pounced at No. 169. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jase McClellan in pick 200. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Drake Nugent at the Round 6 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. It fills a real need, too.
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.
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.
Frank Crum at the 255th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
