FutureB-
The Packers won the weekend at the trade table. Grade: B+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Devin Culp at No. 255, roughly 48 spots before his name belonged.
They banked enough surplus on Nix to cover a lot of smaller sins. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.
That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In Round 1, Pick 26 they get a lockdown presence outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick52
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
A straight-up fair deal on Payton Wilson at the 52nd overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick58
Rnd2
Bo Nix
Somehow Bo Nix was still sitting there in the Round 2 slot, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick86
Rnd3
Marshawn Kneeland
A reasonable price with a little left over, Marshawn Kneeland in pick 86. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Good price on Jaden Hicks in No. 88, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 91st pick is fair value, right on his grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick126
Rnd4
Audric Estime
You do not let a running back like Audric Estime reach Round 4, Pick 26 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick127
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
A conviction pick on Roger Rosengarten at pick No. 127 that the board grades a round light. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick162
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in slot 162; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick169
Rnd5
AJ Barner
No drama and no debate, AJ Barner went about where he belonged in the Round 5 slot. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick202
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Trente Jones at No. 202 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
A slide stopped in the 219th overall pick, with Jaylan Ford worth more than the price. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
A tidy bit of business in the 220th pick, where Nathaniel Watson graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick226
Rnd7
Caedan Wallace
Caedan Wallace slid further than he should have, and pick 226 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They liked Trey Taylor enough to skip the value, taking him in the Round 7 slot. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick247
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at pick 247 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick255
Rnd7
Devin Culp
Devin Culp at the 255th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The roster fit checks out.
