There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Maason Smith, 23 picks ahead of schedule. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The roster is better shaped than it was, with running back chief among the fixes.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
They took Tyler Nubin at par in No. 41, which is nothing to complain about. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Payton Wilson. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Maason Smith at pick 88 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Braelon Allen at pick No. 91 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
