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. They moved the roster forward and banked a B- for it.
They will need Tampa to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They paid a round early for T.J. Tampa in Round 2, Pick 9, more than the board wanted. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Payton Wilson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Kingsley Suamataia at slot 65 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Blake Corum at pick 88 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Cam Hart in pick No. 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jarrian Jones at the 126th overall pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
