FutureF
The Packers bet the future on Milroe. The board says F. You build a draft on nights like this. Emeka Egbuka had no business being available in the 87th overall pick, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It bottoms out at a F.
Simon has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The whole projection now runs through Jalen Milroe; hit there and everything else looks smarter.
They are betting the present roster is worth a lighter draft next spring.
There is no soft landing here; this class has to massively overperform just to matter.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
In the 23rd pick they get a true top target at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
Pick24
Rnd1
James Pearce Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 24 they get a bendy edge with upside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick26
Rnd1
Will Johnson
In slot 26 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick27
Rnd1
Harold Perkins Jr.
In No. 27 they get a downhill thumper at linebacker at a price that makes it sweeter. More want than need.
Pick29
Rnd1
Kenneth Grant
In pick 29 they get a disruptive interior force at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick31
Rnd1
Jalen Milroe
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick55
Rnd2
Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at the 55th overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick87
Rnd3
Emeka Egbuka
They barely believed it either: Emeka Egbuka still on the board at pick No. 87. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick88
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
Circle this one: Tate Ratledge at the 88th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick119
Rnd4
Wyatt Milum
Nothing to complain about; Wyatt Milum went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick120
Rnd4
Domani Jackson
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Domani Jackson. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick122
Rnd4
Smael Mondon Jr.
Value with a capital V on Smael Mondon Jr. in Round 4, Pick 26, a genuine coup. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick133
Rnd5
Conner Weigman
Somehow Conner Weigman was still sitting there in the 133rd overall pick, and they pounced on premier quarterback value. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick151
Rnd5
Dasan McCullough
Dasan McCullough at No. 151 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick155
Rnd5
Julian Fleming
They paid a round early for Julian Fleming in pick No. 155, more than the board wanted. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick157
Rnd5
Caden Prieskorn
A conviction pick on Caden Prieskorn at pick 157 that the board grades a round light. The roster fit checks out.
Pick173
Rnd6
Tyler Baron
A reach on Tyler Baron in the 173rd pick; the board had better options right there. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick183
Rnd6
Gentry Williams
Gentry Williams in pick 183 is fair value, right on his grade. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick189
Rnd6
Zy Alexander
The board had cheaper options than Zy Alexander at the Round 6 slot, and it noticed. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick191
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
They jumped the gun on Theo Wease Jr., taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick197
Rnd7
Alfred Collins
They liked Alfred Collins enough to skip the value, taking him in the 197th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick211
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
They took Hunter Wohler at par in the 211th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick215
Rnd7
Armand Membou
Armand Membou at Round 7, Pick 23 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick216
Rnd7
Jordan James
Jordan James at slot 216 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick218
Rnd7
Thor Griffith
A premium they did not need to pay, Thor Griffith a notch or two before his time. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
A big swing on Fentrell Cypress II at the 221st pick, well ahead of any board in the building. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223
Rnd7
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 223 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
