FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Washington: B. When a board-topper like Tahj Washington slides to pick No. 245, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.
Hartman has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend. The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Cooper DeJean is a better player than the 41st overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 58 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Dominick Puni. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray in the 91st pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick121
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in pick No. 121; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at Round 4, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
They paid sticker price for Jarrian Jones in slot 136, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick145
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Value said wait; Tanor Bortolini in pick 145 says they were not listening. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick147
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A straight-up fair deal on Kitan Oladapo at pick No. 147, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman at pick 169 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick202
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They took Jaylan Ford at par in the 202nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick203
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Steal is underselling it; Isaiah Davis at slot 203 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Sam Hartman
They left a pile of value on the table to take Sam Hartman this early at the 207th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
They reached a country mile for Trey Taylor at No. 219, and the board is aghast. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick220
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
They read the board right and Drake Nugent was the payoff at Round 6, Pick 45. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick245
Rnd7
Tahj Washington
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Tahj Washington in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick246
Rnd7
Evan Anderson
Evan Anderson at the Round 7 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Daijahn Anthony
Daijahn Anthony at the 255th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
