You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

Smith has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. Getting Jones where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 27
In the Round 1 slot they get a press-man option on the boundary. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
The board had cheaper options than Edgerrin Cooper at pick No. 41, and it noticed. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jermaine Burton · WR · rank 56
They paid sticker price for Jermaine Burton in the 58th overall pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
A straight-up fair deal on Dominick Puni at No. 88, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
A real head-scratcher, Maason Smith in pick 91 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 116
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Elijah Jones in the 126th pick. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 33, with Tykee Smith worth more than the price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Caedan Wallace · OT · rank 209
Caedan Wallace at slot 202 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
Trevin Wallace in the 219th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kimani Vidal · RB · rank 252
Kimani Vidal in pick No. 245 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Trey Taylor · S · rank 262
No drama and no debate, Trey Taylor went about where he belonged in No. 255. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
