You build a draft on nights like this. Cooper DeJean had no business being available in pick No. 33, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R2.1 · Pick 33 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
Cooper DeJean at the 33rd overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 34
Kamren Kinchens in slot 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.32 · Pick 64 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
They did well to land Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in pick 64, just ahead of his grade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R3.1 · Pick 65 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 62
Jonathon Brooks at No. 65 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 69
Ruke Orhorhoro in Round 3, Pick 25 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Christian Haynes · OG · rank 77
Value with a capital V on Christian Haynes in pick No. 91, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Matt Goncalves · OT · rank 106
The board had cheaper options than Matt Goncalves at the 98th pick, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 137
Cam Hart at the Round 4 slot is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · James Williams · S · rank 134
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots open.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Omar Speights · LB · rank 208
By-the-book stuff, Omar Speights at slot 203 squarely in line with his ranking. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
R6.35 · Pick 210 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
They took Jawhar Jordan at par in the 210th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
