FutureB-
Grand theft in the 187th overall pick: the Packers steal Judkins and grade out a C. You build a draft on nights like this. Quinshon Judkins had no business being available in pick 187, and the Packers did the only sane thing and turned in the card. It lands right in the middle: a C, no more, no less.
If Batty pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close.
They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. Trading back for volume was the quiet throughline of their weekend.
If Travis Hunter and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In No. 24 they get a ballhawk on the outside at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick56
Rnd2
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in pick No. 56 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Colston Loveland
Steal is underselling it; Colston Loveland at pick 88 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick125
Rnd4
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson at the 125th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They robbed the room for Jake Majors here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It fills a real need, too.
Pick168
Rnd5
Domani Jackson
Domani Jackson at the 168th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick170
Rnd5
Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick171
Rnd5
Zane Durant
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Zane Durant. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick187
Rnd6
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins in pick No. 187 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick191
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
They paid a round early for Theo Wease Jr. in the Round 6 slot, more than the board wanted. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Antonio Williams
Antonio Williams at slot 199 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick203
Rnd6
Nicholas Singleton
Nicholas Singleton in the 203rd pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick209
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
They took Jared Wilson at par in pick 209, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick214
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
They left a pile of value on the table to take Tyler Batty this early at No. 214. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick215
Rnd6
Jordan Hancock
Taking Jordan Hancock in Round 6, Pick 40 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick237
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in the 237th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick247
Rnd7
KJ Jefferson
KJ Jefferson at pick No. 247 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nohl Williams
Nohl Williams at slot 250 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
