FutureD+
The Westover reach set a tone the Packers could not shake: F. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jack Westover; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 76 spots ahead at the 245th pick.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Getting Tracy Jr. where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick 28 they get a lockdown presence outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick30
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In No. 30 they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick34
Rnd2
Kool-Aid McKinstry
Kool-Aid McKinstry at Round 2, Pick 2 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick41
Rnd2
Adonai Mitchell
Nice patience on Adonai Mitchell, who had no business lasting to slot 41. It fills a real need, too.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 58 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick65
Rnd3
Patrick Paul
They paid sticker price for Patrick Paul in the 65th overall pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88
Rnd3
Michael Hall Jr.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Michael Hall Jr. in slot 88. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
A tidy little value on Jaden Hicks in pick 90, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni at No. 91 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick126
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tommy Eichenberg well ahead of where he belonged. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick128
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
They liked Michael Pratt enough to skip the value, taking him in the 128th pick. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick130
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
A wild overpay on Justin Eboigbe in the Round 4 slot, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick134
Rnd4
Dallin Holker
Dallin Holker in Round 4, Pick 34 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick169
Rnd5
Walter Rouse
A clean, defensible pick in the 169th overall pick with a little surplus value in Walter Rouse. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick171
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in No. 171 is fair value, right on his grade. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick172
Rnd5
Khristian Boyd
They took Khristian Boyd at par in slot 172, which is nothing to complain about. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick175
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
No drama and no debate, Ty'Ron Hopper went about where he belonged in Round 5, Pick 39. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick202
Rnd6
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
The board fumbled Tyrone Tracy Jr. all the way to pick No. 202, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick218
Rnd6
Edefuan Ulofoshio
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Edefuan Ulofoshio. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
Trey Taylor at the 219th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick228
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at the 228th pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231
Rnd7
C.J. Hanson
This one needs a full-page explanation: C.J. Hanson in pick 231, miles early. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Hartman this early at slot 240. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jack Westover
Value said wait; Jack Westover in pick No. 245 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick255
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Daijahn Anthony in Round 7, Pick 35, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick256
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in pick 256 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257
Rnd7
Carlton Johnson
A premium they did not need to pay, Carlton Johnson a notch or two before his time. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
