FutureC
A solid, sensible weekend for the Packers: B-. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Hayden Hatten at slot 255 is 81 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. A sturdy weekend that grades out a B-.
Hicks at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. The weekend tilted hard toward the defense.
All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Cooper DeJean
In pick No. 25 they get a potential shutdown corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick49
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in the 49th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick58
Rnd2
Jaylen Wright
A market-rate running back, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylen Wright. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
The board fumbled Jaden Hicks all the way to pick 88, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 3 slot is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick92
Rnd3
Ben Sinnott
A conviction pick on Ben Sinnott at No. 92 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mohamed Kamara
A reach on Mohamed Kamara in the Round 3 slot; the board had better options right there. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick105
Rnd4
DeWayne Carter
DeWayne Carter at No. 105 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Hunter Nourzad
Hunter Nourzad at pick 110 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick115
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at Round 4, Pick 15 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick126
Rnd4
Malik Mustapha
No edge and no loss on Malik Mustapha in pick No. 126; it is a wash and a sensible one. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick169
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at slot 169 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick181
Rnd6
Khristian Boyd
They paid sticker price for Khristian Boyd in the 181st overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Sione Vaki
They robbed the room for Sione Vaki here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylan Ford in pick 219. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick220
Rnd6
Trey Taylor
A premium they did not need to pay, Trey Taylor a notch or two before his time. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick225
Rnd7
Dillon Johnson
Dillon Johnson in the 225th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick245
Rnd7
Sam Hartman
They paid a round early for Sam Hartman in Round 7, Pick 25, more than the board wanted. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick253
Rnd7
Donovan Jennings
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Donovan Jennings. The roster fit checks out.
Pick255
Rnd7
Hayden Hatten
This one needs a full-page explanation: Hayden Hatten in No. 255, miles early. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
