You build a draft on nights like this. Dominick Puni had no business being available in Round 4, Pick 25, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. No fireworks, but a solid B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. They will need Watson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Xavier Legette at the Round 2 slot is the proof. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Nice patience on Tyler Guyton, who had no business lasting to pick 57. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
The board had cheaper options than Tykee Smith at Round 3, Pick 25, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
No edge and no loss on Audric Estime in pick No. 91; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Circle this one: Dominick Puni at slot 125 is a fall that decides a draft. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Nothing to complain about; Cedric Gray went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jawhar Jordan. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
No drama and no debate, Brevyn Spann-Ford went about where he belonged in Round 6, Pick 42. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 219 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
By-the-book stuff, Dwight McGlothern at the 246th overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
