FutureB-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the C tells the story. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent the 257th pick on Mason Fairchild, a name most had 83 spots down the list.
The Kneeland value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.
Hit on Graham Barton and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In the 25th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Good price on Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Edgerrin Cooper in Round 2, Pick 26. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
A clean, defensible pick in pick 88 with a little surplus value in Jaden Hicks. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
The board had cheaper options than Zak Zinter at the 91st pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126
Rnd4
Marshawn Kneeland
They barely believed it either: Marshawn Kneeland still on the board at No. 126. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
A reach for Jarrian Jones in pick 127; a little patience would have been rewarded. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in slot 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick188
Rnd6
Dylan Laube
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Dylan Laube in the Round 6 slot, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
They jumped the gun on Joe Milton III, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick202
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs at the 202nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at pick No. 219 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trevin Wallace
A tidy bit of business in the 245th pick, where Trevin Wallace graded well above the range. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
No edge and no loss on Jalen Sundell in No. 248; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Taylor a notch or two before his time. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick256
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at slot 256 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257
Rnd7
Mason Fairchild
Mason Fairchild in No. 257 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
