FutureA+
The phones sank the Packers this weekend: D. The rest of the league had time to spare on Jacob Dobbs; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 73 spots ahead at pick 218.
However the rest shakes out, Gabriel at that price is a win they earned. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick51
Rnd2
Tate Ratledge
A conviction pick on Tate Ratledge at pick No. 51 that the board grades a round light. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick83
Rnd3
Rylie Mills
Rylie Mills at the 83rd pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick115
Rnd4
Gentry Williams
They paid sticker price for Gentry Williams in slot 115, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick140
Rnd5
Jasheen Davis
They liked Jasheen Davis enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 12. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick147
Rnd5
Zion Nelson
Zion Nelson at the Round 5 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick148
Rnd5
T.J. Sanders
A reach on T.J. Sanders in the 148th overall pick; the board had better options right there. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick149
Rnd5
Dillon Gabriel
Taking Dillon Gabriel in pick 149 is close to grand larceny; a quarterback that good had no business lasting this long. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick154
Rnd5
Zach Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Rice at No. 154, value and slot in agreement. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160
Rnd5
Fentrell Cypress II
They paid a round early for Fentrell Cypress II in the Round 5 slot, more than the board wanted. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick166
Rnd6
Thor Griffith
Thor Griffith at slot 166 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The roster fit checks out.
Pick179
Rnd6
Jo'Quavious Marks
Jo'Quavious Marks at the 179th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick180
Rnd6
CJ Dippre
No edge and no loss on CJ Dippre in Round 6, Pick 20; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181
Rnd6
Ben Bywater
Ben Bywater in pick No. 181 is fair value, right on his grade. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick192
Rnd6
Keaten Wade
They went early on Keaten Wade in the 192nd overall pick, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick193
Rnd7
Dorian Strong
They let Dorian Strong come to them and pounced at pick 193. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick194
Rnd7
Jake Johnson
Jake Johnson in Round 7, Pick 2 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick211
Rnd7
Nic Anderson
They took Nic Anderson at par in No. 211, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick213
Rnd7
Jack Nelson
By-the-book stuff, Jack Nelson at pick No. 213 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick215
Rnd7
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at the 215th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick216
Rnd7
Agiye Hall
A real head-scratcher, Agiye Hall in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jacob Dobbs
Jacob Dobbs at the 218th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick221
Rnd7
Giovanni El-Hadi
A wild overpay on Giovanni El-Hadi in slot 221, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick222
Rnd7
Sage Ryan
A reach for Sage Ryan in pick No. 222; a little patience would have been rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick224
Rnd7
Julian Fleming
Julian Fleming in No. 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
