Pegues should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a C-.

You build a draft on nights like this. JJ Pegues had no business being available in No. 239, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It nets out a thoroughly average C-.

Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. They are betting Majors proves the room right and everyone else wrong.

Not a disaster, not a triumph, just a middling class.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Luther Burden III
In No. 23 they get a matchup problem out wide at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick54 Rnd2 Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick64 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
A conviction pick on Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 32 that the board grades a round light. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87 Rnd3 Jake Majors
They liked Jake Majors enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 87. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick123 Rnd4 Hollin Pierce
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Hollin Pierce in the 123rd pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160 Rnd5 RJ Harvey
By-the-book stuff, RJ Harvey at slot 160 squarely in line with his ranking. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
They read the board right and Oronde Gadsden II was the payoff at pick 200. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 JJ Pegues
JJ Pegues in the 239th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Value with a capital V on Clay Webb in pick No. 251, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
