FutureF
The Packers overdrafted Culp and paid the price. Grade: F. Nobody had Devin Culp this high, and it is not close. The Packers reached 50 spots to get him at the 253rd pick. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The Cooper pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at interior defensive lineman. The interior defensive lineman hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
On value alone, Johnson makes the weekend a net positive. The bill for those future picks comes due whether the class hits or not.
There is no soft landing here: they fought the board and left interior defensive lineman open, and the grade is the bill.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Olumuyiwa Fashanu
In No. 25 they get a blindside protector, outstanding value to boot.
Pick26
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get an island corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Graham Barton
In slot 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick28
Rnd1
Chop Robinson
In pick No. 28 they get juice off the edge. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick62
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Value with a capital V on Junior Colson in the Round 2 slot, a genuine coup. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick63
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Of all the spots to shop, they chose linebacker. Edgerrin Cooper in the 63rd overall pick leaves interior defensive lineman for later.
Pick88
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at No. 88 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick90
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks in the 90th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick105
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Ray Davis at pick 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson
They bypassed pressing needs at interior defensive lineman to take Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick113
Rnd4
Johnny Wilson
They jumped the gun on Johnny Wilson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cedric Gray adds a linebacker and leaves interior defensive lineman untouched.
Pick138
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones in pick No. 138 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick165
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Kitan Oladapo worth more than the price. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
By-the-book stuff, Malik Mustapha at No. 169 squarely in line with his ranking. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick170
Rnd5
AJ Barner
They took AJ Barner at par in the 170th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Travis. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
Tanor Bortolini at pick No. 172 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick175
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
Brandon Coleman in pick 175 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
A clean, defensible pick in slot 181 with a little surplus value in Khristian Boyd. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick189
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
The board had cheaper options than Joe Milton III at Round 6, Pick 14, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Trente Jones is a better player than the 202nd overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. The roster fit checks out.
Pick215
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
Cornelius Johnson at the 215th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
They liked Trevin Wallace enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 6 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick225
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio at the 225th overall pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick226
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They reached into another round for Trey Taylor, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
Sam Hartman at No. 239 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick245
Rnd7
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 25 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick253
Rnd7
Devin Culp
A real head-scratcher, Devin Culp in slot 253 is miles ahead of his ranking. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick255
Rnd7
Ryan Watts
No drama and no debate, Ryan Watts went about where he belonged in pick No. 255. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
