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 Evan Anderson in pick 219. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

The Nick Folk deal gives the class an established piece to lean on.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 8
In the 25th overall pick they get a building block for the line, outstanding value to boot.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 17
Nate Wiggins at Round 2, Pick 9 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 25
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kool-Aid McKinstry in pick No. 58, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Ricky Pearsall · WR · rank 58
Ricky Pearsall in the 88th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
Kingsley Suamataia at pick 91 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 110
A tidy bit of business in slot 127, where Cole Bishop graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 159
A quiet steal in Round 5, Pick 32: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jarrian Jones · CB · rank 149
Steal is underselling it; Jarrian Jones at the 204th pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Evan Anderson · DL · rank 295
They reached into another round for Evan Anderson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It fills a real need, too.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 250
By-the-book stuff, Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick No. 243 squarely in line with his ranking. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Rasheen Ali · RB · rank 226
They will replay Rasheen Ali at the Round 7 slot for years; that is how good the value is. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
