Grand theft in No. 255: the Packers steal Richardson and grade out a B-.

Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Decamerion Richardson got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 255. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

The Wallace pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board. The Williams pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In the 25th pick they get a long-term starter on the line, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick41 Rnd2 Edgerrin Cooper
They paid sticker price for Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58 Rnd2 Javon Bullard
Javon Bullard at Round 2, Pick 26 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick88 Rnd3 MarShawn Lloyd
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 88 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91 Rnd3 Roger Rosengarten
No edge and no loss on Roger Rosengarten in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126 Rnd4 Trevin Wallace
A curious use of No. 126. Edge rusher, quarterback and other spots needed the pick; a linebacker in Trevin Wallace did not.
Pick169 Rnd5 Hunter Nourzad
You do not let an offensive lineman like Hunter Nourzad reach pick No. 169 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202 Rnd6 Evan Williams
They reached a country mile for Evan Williams at slot 202, and the board is aghast. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219 Rnd6 KT Leveston
KT Leveston at the Round 6 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245 Rnd7 Jacob Monk
A slide stopped in Round 7, Pick 25, with Jacob Monk worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Decamerion Richardson
A cornerback of that caliber at pick 255 is the definition of value, full stop. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
