FutureB-
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B. The Packers bet big and early on Josiah Ezirim, 47 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The bottom line is a respectable B.
That McGlothern pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
In slot 25 they get a long-term starter on the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil at the 51st overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick58
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at the Round 2 slot nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
A straight-up fair deal on Cole Bishop at pick No. 88, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick91
Rnd3
Dominick Puni
They paid sticker price for Dominick Puni in Round 3, Pick 28, and that is fine. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick93
Rnd3
Ray Davis
No drama and no debate, Ray Davis went about where he belonged in pick 93. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Leonard Taylor III
No edge and no loss on Leonard Taylor III in pick 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick130
Rnd4
Michael Pratt
They paid a round early for Michael Pratt in pick No. 130, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169
Rnd5
AJ Barner
Nothing to complain about; AJ Barner went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick174
Rnd5
Braiden McGregor
A reasonable price with a little left over, Braiden McGregor in slot 174. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick202
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern in the Round 6 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
A tidy little value on Jaylan Ford in No. 219, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick244
Rnd7
Jaylon Carlies
Value said wait; Jaylon Carlies in the 244th overall pick says they were not listening. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick245
Rnd7
Josiah Ezirim
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Josiah Ezirim well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
They talked themselves into Jalen Sundell at No. 255, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
