FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Hampton: D+. The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Tyler Batty at pick 197 regardless, 101 picks early.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Hampton. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
In short, the board sent warnings, and they will be hoping it was wrong.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In pick No. 23 they get protection for the quarterback, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Will Campbell
Circle this one: Will Campbell at pick 54 is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jalon Walker
The board fumbled Jalon Walker all the way to Round 3, Pick 23, and they scooped it up. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick122
Rnd4
Colston Loveland
Colston Loveland in the 122nd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick123
Rnd4
Omarion Hampton
Omarion Hampton in No. 123 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick157
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at Round 5, Pick 20. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158
Rnd5
Smael Mondon Jr.
Smael Mondon Jr. in the 158th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick179
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
Pick180
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
A conviction pick on Theo Wease Jr. at pick No. 180 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Cam Skattebo in slot 181, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick196
Rnd6
Cody Simon
A linebacker of that caliber at the 196th pick is the definition of value, full stop. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick197
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
Tyler Batty at pick 197 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick198
Rnd6
Ty Hamilton
Ty Hamilton in pick 198 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick199
Rnd6
Sonny Styles
Steal is underselling it; Sonny Styles at slot 199 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick200
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They will replay Oronde Gadsden II at No. 200 for years; that is how good the value is. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick208
Rnd6
DJ Campbell
DJ Campbell at pick No. 208 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick211
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the 211th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick213
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
Nice patience on Jared Wilson, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Garrett Dellinger
Garrett Dellinger in Round 6, Pick 39 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick215
Rnd6
KJ Jefferson
A wild overpay on KJ Jefferson in the 215th overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick218
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Taking Jack Kiser in pick No. 218 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick221
Rnd7
Kobe King
Kobe King at Round 7, Pick 5 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jordan Hancock
You do not let a safety like Jordan Hancock reach No. 237 and blink. They did not. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick250
Rnd7
Giles Jackson
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Giles Jackson well ahead of where he belonged. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick253
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Mitchell Evans. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick256
Rnd7
Fred Davis
They talked themselves into Fred Davis at the 256th overall pick, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
