The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and King: B-. The rest of the league will want that one back. Kalen King tumbling to the Packers in Round 6, Pick 27 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
Every board in the league had Gray lower, and that gap is the story. The Gray pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots still on the board. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
A reach on Cooper Beebe in No. 36; the board had better options right there. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard in slot 41 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick67
Rnd3
Payton Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Payton Wilson at the 67th pick. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick81
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Christian Haynes in Round 3, Pick 17. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots to take Cedric Gray, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Jaden Hicks at safety with edge rusher, wide receiver and other spots open.
Pick118
Rnd4
Blake Corum
Blake Corum at the Round 4 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Christian Jones
They paid sticker price for Christian Jones in the 126th overall pick, and that is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick169
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They read the board right and Kitan Oladapo was the payoff at Round 5, Pick 33. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick192
Rnd6
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kalen King
Kalen King in No. 202 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick219
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They did well to land Nathaniel Watson in the 219th overall pick, just ahead of his grade. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245
Rnd7
Tylan Grable
Tylan Grable slid further than he should have, and the 245th pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
No edge and no loss on Sam Hartman in pick No. 255; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
