Thirty-one other rooms let Andru Phillips slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at pick 126. Highway robbery. It nets out to a B, which feels about right.
Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. The Gray reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
A slide stopped in the Round 1 slot, with Taliese Fuaga worth more than the price. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Cooper DeJean in the 36th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Value with a capital V on Jonathon Brooks in No. 58, a genuine coup. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They did well to land Jaden Hicks in Round 3, Pick 25, just ahead of his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Cedric Gray. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Circle this one: Andru Phillips at pick No. 126 is a fall that decides a draft. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They paid a round early for Curtis Jacobs in the 186th overall pick, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
