The rest of the league will want that one back. Khyree Jackson tumbling to the Packers in pick No. 126 is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The cost of the Tampa reach is exactly the players who went right after him.
In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
T.J. Tampa in pick 41 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They read the board right and T'Vondre Sweat was the payoff at No. 58. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They robbed the room for Jeremiah Trotter Jr. here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A minor need, but a need all the same.
A tidy little value on Jaden Hicks in the 91st pick, a step better than break-even. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Circle this one: Khyree Jackson at slot 126 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dylan Laube at pick No. 169. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
No drama and no debate, Jaylan Ford went about where he belonged in the 202nd overall pick. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 6 slot with a little surplus value in Caedan Wallace. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Michael Barrett slid further than he should have, and pick 245 is lovely value for the linebacker. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
The board had Bub Means higher than the 255th overall pick, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
