FutureD
The Packers overdrafted Hutchings and paid the price. Grade: F. Nobody else had Jaylon Hutchings anywhere near pick No. 243. The Packers did, by 110 spots, and that gap is the whole story. The board sounded every alarm, and the F is the fallout.
They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. That is a wide receiver worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
There is no spinning it; the board won this weekend going away.
Pick Analysis
Pick26
Rnd1
Terrion Arnold
In slot 26 they get a sticky cover corner, and a steal at that. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick28
Rnd1
Kool-Aid McKinstry
In pick 28 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick35
Rnd2
Amarius Mims
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Amarius Mims at the Round 2 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick53
Rnd2
Edgerrin Cooper
Nothing to complain about; Edgerrin Cooper went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick54
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson at the 54th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick58
Rnd2
Christian Haynes
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Christian Haynes. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
Fair-plus on Jaden Hicks, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick89
Rnd3
Devontez Walker
Devontez Walker at Round 3, Pick 26 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick92
Rnd3
DeWayne Carter
They jumped the gun on DeWayne Carter, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick105
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick110
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick No. 110 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick113
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
Mohamed Kamara at the Round 4 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Isaac Guerendo
No edge and no loss on Isaac Guerendo in the 126th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick128
Rnd4
Roger Rosengarten
No drama and no debate, Roger Rosengarten went about where he belonged in slot 128. The roster fit checks out.
Pick144
Rnd5
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones slipping to the 144th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick145
Rnd5
Dallin Holker
By-the-book stuff, Dallin Holker at pick No. 145 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick146
Rnd5
Kitan Oladapo
They took Kitan Oladapo at par in slot 146, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick147
Rnd5
Hunter Nourzad
The board had cheaper options than Hunter Nourzad at the 147th pick, and it noticed. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick150
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They reached a country mile for Malik Mustapha at No. 150, and the board is aghast. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick154
Rnd5
Brandon Coleman
A big swing on Brandon Coleman at Round 5, Pick 18, well ahead of any board in the building. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick155
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in the Round 5 slot: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Tanor Bortolini
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Tanor Bortolini well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick161
Rnd5
Tyrone Tracy Jr.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. slid further than he should have, and pick No. 161 is lovely value for the wide receiver. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick162
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
A premium they did not need to pay, Jordan Travis a notch or two before his time. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick163
Rnd5
Joe Milton III
They reached into another round for Joe Milton III, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick168
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A straight-up fair deal on Braiden McGregor at the 168th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at pick 169 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick170
Rnd5
AJ Barner
AJ Barner in the Round 5 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick171
Rnd5
Fabien Lovett
Fabien Lovett at No. 171 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
A tidy little value on Kamal Hadden in the 172nd pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick175
Rnd5
Tip Reiman
Tip Reiman in No. 175 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jordan Jefferson
They paid sticker price for Jordan Jefferson in the 181st pick, and that is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick189
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
No edge and no loss on Cornelius Johnson in the 189th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick200
Rnd6
Trente Jones
Trente Jones in slot 200 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick202
Rnd6
Nathaniel Watson
They went early on Nathaniel Watson in Round 6, Pick 27, and the value did not follow. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick203
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste at pick 203 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick207
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 207 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick209
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Value with a capital V on Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. It fills a real need, too.
Pick219
Rnd6
Drake Nugent
Drake Nugent at Round 6, Pick 44 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220
Rnd6
Trevin Wallace
A reach for Trevin Wallace in the 220th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick225
Rnd7
Trey Taylor
They left a pile of value on the table to take Trey Taylor this early at the Round 7 slot. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick226
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
Jordan Magee in No. 226 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick239
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
A wild overpay on Sam Hartman in pick No. 239, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jaylon Hutchings
A real head-scratcher, Jaylon Hutchings in slot 243 is miles ahead of his ranking. The roster fit checks out.
Pick245
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
Edefuan Ulofoshio is a better player than pick 245 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick246
Rnd7
Kimani Vidal
They paid sticker price for Kimani Vidal in the 246th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick253
Rnd7
Omar Brown
Omar Brown in slot 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
A slide stopped in pick No. 255, with Jalen Sundell worth more than the price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
