The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 33 spots for Kimani Vidal, and value like that does not grow back. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 20
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 46
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 41 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R2.27 · Pick 59 · Devontez Walker · WR · rank 68
They went early on Devontez Walker in pick No. 59, and the value did not follow. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 91
Dominick Puni in the 88th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 106
Cole Bishop in pick 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
No drama and no debate, Christian Jones went about where he belonged in the Round 4 slot. The roster fit checks out.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Nehemiah Pritchett · CB · rank 143
Nehemiah Pritchett at pick No. 127 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 171
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Malik Mustapha. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 206
No edge and no loss on Jared Wiley in No. 202; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 252
This one needs a full-page explanation: Kimani Vidal in the 219th overall pick, miles early. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Solomon Byrd · DE-EDGE · rank 257
A reach for Solomon Byrd in pick 245; a little patience would have been rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 255
Tyler Owens in the 255th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
