FutureB-
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. The Packers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. No fireworks, but a solid B.
Milton III has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Melton pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Javon Bullard
No drama and no debate, Javon Bullard went about where he belonged in the 41st overall pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick45
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Edgerrin Cooper at slot 45 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick58
Rnd2
Braden Fiske
By-the-book stuff, Braden Fiske at the Round 2 slot squarely in line with his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick59
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
No edge and no loss on Christian Haynes in Round 2, Pick 27; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88
Rnd3
Max Melton
Value with a capital V on Max Melton in the 88th pick, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson at pick No. 91 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the running back. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick123
Rnd4
James Williams
They paid sticker price for James Williams in No. 123, and that is fine. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick126
Rnd4
Christian Jones
Christian Jones in pick 126 is fair value, right on his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick150
Rnd5
Justin Eboigbe
A straight-up fair deal on Justin Eboigbe at No. 150, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in the Round 5 slot is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick170
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
The board had cheaper options than Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 170, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
Pick175
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They left a pile of value on the table to take Joe Milton III this early at Round 5, Pick 39. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick188
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
They took Cornelius Johnson at par in the 188th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick190
Rnd6
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett in the 190th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick202
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Fair-plus on Curtis Jacobs, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
A clean, defensible pick in pick 219 with a little surplus value in Caedan Wallace. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
A wild overpay on C.J. Hanson in pick No. 245, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tyler Owens
A market-rate safety, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyler Owens. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
