FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B+. There is reaching, and then there is Xavian Sorey Jr. at Round 7, Pick 23. The Packers jumped the board by 91 and dared it to prove them wrong. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
Beck at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving offensive lineman unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick55
Rnd2
Isaiah Bond
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Isaiah Bond in Round 2, Pick 23, plain and simple. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick86
Rnd3
Quinn Ewers
Quinn Ewers at No. 86 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Abdul Carter
They will replay Abdul Carter at the Round 3 slot for years; that is how good the value is. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mykel Williams
Mykel Williams in slot 88 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick89
Rnd3
Barrett Carter
Circle this one: Barrett Carter at the 89th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick90
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Quinshon Judkins in pick 90. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick91
Rnd3
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at pick 91 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick92
Rnd3
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori in the Round 3 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick101
Rnd3
Carson Beck
Carson Beck in No. 101 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jayden Higgins
A straight-up fair deal on Jayden Higgins at the 120th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick124
Rnd4
Nazir Stackhouse
A wild overpay on Nazir Stackhouse in Round 4, Pick 23, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd6
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
Steal is underselling it; Jamon Dumas-Johnson at slot 194 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick197
Rnd6
Bryson Nesbit
No drama and no debate, Bryson Nesbit went about where he belonged in pick No. 197. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Julian Fleming
They paid sticker price for Julian Fleming in the 199th pick, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick209
Rnd6
Barion Brown
Barion Brown in the 209th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick221
Rnd7
Mason Taylor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Mason Taylor in Round 7, Pick 7, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick224
Rnd7
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in slot 224 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick236
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at pick 236 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick237
Rnd7
Xavian Sorey Jr.
They reached into another round for Xavian Sorey Jr., and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245
Rnd7
Zane Durant
A real head-scratcher, Zane Durant in No. 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. It fills a real need, too.
Pick248
Rnd7
Trevor Etienne
They reached a country mile for Trevor Etienne at pick No. 248, and the board is aghast. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Tony Grimes
Tony Grimes at the 254th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
