You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Dallas Gant in slot 255.

Getting McGlothern where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Cornerback is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 24
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at pick No. 41, value and slot in agreement. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
Payton Wilson in the 58th overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
The board had Max Melton higher than No. 88, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
No drama and no debate, Khyree Jackson went about where he belonged in the 91st pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
Brenden Rice at slot 126 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It fills a real need, too.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
Circle this one: Dwight McGlothern at pick 202 is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 253
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kimani Vidal. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
They jumped the gun on Tyler Owens, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 321
This one needs a full-page explanation: Dallas Gant in pick No. 255, miles early. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
