The Packers let Starks fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. Somebody in pick 89 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Packers sat still while Malaki Starks, the No. 19 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.
The Covington pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want.
Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Josh Conerly Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get protection for the quarterback at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden III at the 57th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick89
Rnd3
Malaki Starks
The board fumbled Malaki Starks all the way to the Round 3 slot, and they scooped it up. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at pick No. 126 is a fall that decides a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick161
Rnd5
Harold Perkins Jr.
Harold Perkins Jr. in slot 161 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick201
Rnd6
Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. at the 201st pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick248
Rnd7
Jacobe Covington
They talked themselves into Jacobe Covington at No. 248, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
