The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Wilson: B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jared Wilson, the 160th pick, roughly 54 picks past where he belonged.

If Sanders pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. Leaving edge rusher unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Derrick Harmon
In pick No. 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front. A real need, handled.
Pick54 Rnd2 Josh Conerly Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Josh Conerly Jr. in Round 2, Pick 22. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zy Alexander
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Zy Alexander at the 87th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick123 Rnd4 Raheim Sanders
They reached into another round for Raheim Sanders, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick160 Rnd5 Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to slot 160, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
