You can lose a draft before you make a pick. The Packers did it at the trade table, overpaying to chase players the board did not price nearly as high. It grades a D, and the process earned it.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. The McCord steal is the beam this whole class leans on.

Spend now, pay later; the math only works if this class delivers. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
