FutureA+
The Packers lost the trade table, and the D tells the story. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Jaylon Hutchings in the 252nd overall pick.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The Johnson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Roman Wilson
No edge and no loss on Roman Wilson in the Round 2 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick56
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at pick No. 56 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick58
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson in pick 58 is fair value, right on his grade. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick88
Rnd3
Max Melton
A tidy bit of business in slot 88, where Max Melton graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They did well to land Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 28, just ahead of his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
Cole Bishop at the 105th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick108
Rnd4
Ray Davis
Ray Davis at slot 108 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick110
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
A straight-up fair deal on Elijah Jones at pick 110, value and slot in agreement. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick113
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Mohamed Kamara well ahead of where he belonged. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
A slide stopped in the 126th pick, with Cedric Gray worth more than the price. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick129
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
They paid sticker price for Roger Rosengarten in the Round 4 slot, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Somehow Jarrian Jones was still sitting there in No. 159, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick165
Rnd5
Trevor Keegan
Trevor Keegan in pick No. 165 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick167
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
Malik Mustapha in Round 5, Pick 31 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick169
Rnd5
AJ Barner
No drama and no debate, AJ Barner went about where he belonged in the 169th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick171
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
They took Jordan Travis at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick172
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
They paid a round early for Tanor Bortolini in the 172nd overall pick, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Joe Milton III
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Joe Milton III. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trente Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Trente Jones in slot 202. The roster fit checks out.
Pick210
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Good price on Jaylan Ford in pick 210, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219
Rnd6
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace in Round 6, Pick 44 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It fills a real need, too.
Pick225
Rnd7
Cornelius Johnson
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Cornelius Johnson in No. 225, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 245. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jaylon Hutchings
Jaylon Hutchings at No. 252 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
By-the-book stuff, Kimani Vidal at the Round 7 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick255
Rnd7
Frank Crum
Frank Crum at the 255th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
