The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Jones: B. Somebody in slot 169 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Elijah Jones, the No. 115 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
Reaching for Nourzad left real value on the table behind him. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up. The Gray pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with wide receiver, tight end and other spots still on the board.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in No. 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick53
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in the 53rd overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
No drama and no debate, Payton Wilson went about where he belonged in slot 58. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick88
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
They jumped the gun on Christian Mahogany, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The roster fit checks out.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A curious use of pick 105. Wide receiver, tight end and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Cedric Gray did not.
Pick110
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at the 110th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the Round 4 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
They talked themselves into Hunter Nourzad at Round 4, Pick 26, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in No. 169 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick170
Rnd5
Grayson Murphy
By-the-book stuff, Grayson Murphy at pick 170 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick175
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khristian Boyd. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick202
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III in slot 202 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jalen Sundell
A big swing on Jalen Sundell at the Round 6 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick245
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
They reached a country mile for C.J. Hanson at pick No. 245, and the board is aghast. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Steal is underselling it; Daijahn Anthony at the 255th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick256
Rnd7
Tyrice Knight
They paid sticker price for Tyrice Knight in Round 7, Pick 36, and that is fine. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick257
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
Tyler Owens in Round 7, Pick 39 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
