The phones sank the Packers this weekend: C. The Packers put a flag in the ground for Sam Hartman, 44 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.
The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
They chose more darts over a bigger single swing.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick36
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean at the 36th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson at pick 58 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick65
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
They paid sticker price for Christian Haynes in No. 65, and that is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick66
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
No edge and no loss on Patrick Paul in pick No. 66; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick71
Rnd3
Max Melton
Max Melton in the 71st pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick91
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in slot 91 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick92
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
The board had Marshawn Kneeland higher than the Round 3 slot, and the edge rusher fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick100
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A slide stopped in slot 100, with Dominick Puni worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick104
Rnd4
Ray Davis
They took Ray Davis at par in Round 4, Pick 4, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick125
Rnd4
Beaux Limmer
No drama and no debate, Beaux Limmer went about where he belonged in the 125th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick126
Rnd4
Theo Johnson
A clean, defensible pick in No. 126 with a little surplus value in Theo Johnson. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick131
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at pick No. 131 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick133
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
A straight-up fair deal on Roger Rosengarten at the 133rd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
Tommy Eichenberg at pick 134 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick136
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Isaac Guerendo in slot 136. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A conviction pick on Kitan Oladapo at the 144th overall pick that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick145
Rnd5
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones in pick No. 145 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick147
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
They liked Hunter Nourzad enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 11. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick160
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
A premium they did not need to pay, Malik Mustapha a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
Khristian Boyd at pick 163 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick171
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
They paid a round early for Ty'Ron Hopper in the 171st pick, more than the board wanted. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jordan Jefferson
Jordan Jefferson in the Round 5 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson slipping to Round 6, Pick 27 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick210
Rnd6
Keith Randolph Jr.
A reach on Keith Randolph Jr. in pick 210; the board had better options right there. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick211
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
Trevin Wallace at the 211th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick215
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Sam Hartman. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
Nothing to complain about; Nathaniel Watson went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
Value said wait; Trey Taylor in pick No. 226 says they were not listening. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jalen Sundell. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
Jordan Whittington at No. 255 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
