The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Anthony Gould slide 103 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

The Sinnott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 24
In slot 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 47
Cooper Beebe is a better player than Round 2, Pick 26 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Renardo Green · S · rank 76
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Renardo Green at the 88th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 129
Ben Sinnott at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
A clean, defensible pick in No. 126 with a little surplus value in Javon Foster. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Ty'Ron Hopper · LB · rank 182
Ty'Ron Hopper in pick 169 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 161
A cornerback of that caliber at the 202nd overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Cody Schrader · RB · rank 175
Cody Schrader at No. 219 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Anthony Gould · WR · rank 142
Circle this one: Anthony Gould at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trente Jones · OT · rank 195
They will replay Trente Jones at slot 255 for years; that is how good the value is. The roster fit checks out.
