FutureF
Zvada should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a F. The war room fell hard for Fred Davis, and it showed at pick No. 255: 109 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas. The warnings were there, and the F is the bill.
Zvada falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake.
They left with edge rusher solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
The verdict is harsh because the weekend was, and there is little to argue.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Mason Graham
In slot 23 they get an anchor for the defensive front, and a steal at that. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick24
Rnd1
Abdul Carter
In No. 24 they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick25
Rnd1
Tetairoa McMillan
In the 25th overall pick they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot.
Pick26
Rnd1
Benjamin Morrison
In the 26th pick they get a press-man option on the boundary, though the board says they badly overpaid. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick33
Rnd2
Ashton Jeanty
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Ashton Jeanty in the 33rd pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tyleik Williams. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker in Round 2, Pick 23 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at pick No. 56 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick57
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
A premium they did not need to pay, Donovan Ezeiruaku a notch or two before his time. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick87
Rnd3
Denzel Burke
Denzel Burke in slot 87 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Charles Grant
No drama and no debate, Charles Grant went about where he belonged in pick 88. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138
Rnd5
Kurtis Rourke
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kurtis Rourke in the 138th overall pick. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158
Rnd5
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson in slot 158 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
They will replay Smael Mondon Jr. at pick 181 for years; that is how good the value is. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick188
Rnd6
Cody Simon
You do not let a linebacker like Cody Simon reach No. 188 and blink. They did not. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick190
Rnd6
Mason Taylor
Taking Mason Taylor in the 190th pick is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick201
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
A big swing on Tyler Batty at Round 6, Pick 26, well ahead of any board in the building. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jonah Monheim
Somehow Jonah Monheim was still sitting there in the Round 7 slot, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick250
Rnd7
Logan Parr
Logan Parr slipping to the 250th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251
Rnd7
Bru McCoy
This one needs a full-page explanation: Bru McCoy in pick No. 251, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
Pick252
Rnd7
Dominic Zvada
The board fumbled Dominic Zvada all the way to slot 252, and they scooped it up. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick254
Rnd7
James Burnip
They robbed the room for James Burnip here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick255
Rnd7
Fred Davis
Fred Davis in the 255th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick256
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
They left a pile of value on the table to take Mitchell Evans this early at pick No. 256. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
