The rest of the league will want that one back. Xavier Worthy tumbling to the Packers in the Round 3 slot is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Call it a sensible B-, earned the boring way.

They will need Richardson to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.

Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 26
In the 25th overall pick they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Byron Murphy II · DL · rank 40
By-the-book stuff, Byron Murphy II at Round 2, Pick 9 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Fair-plus on Jackson Powers-Johnson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Xavier Worthy · WR · rank 43
A wide receiver of that caliber at pick No. 88 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 93
No drama and no debate, Bucky Irving went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 135
Cedric Gray at slot 125 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
Malik Mustapha at No. 135 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Chau Smith-Wade · CB · rank 162
Chau Smith-Wade at the 203rd pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Demani Richardson · S · rank 246
Value said wait; Demani Richardson in Round 6, Pick 42 says they were not listening. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Jawhar Jordan · RB · rank 209
Jawhar Jordan slipping to the 219th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Eric Gentry · LB · rank 251
No edge and no loss on Eric Gentry in slot 246; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
