FutureA+
The phones sank the Packers this weekend: C+. It is the swing that defines the weekend: Khordae Sydnor in pick No. 253, a good 220 spots before the room expected him. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
Brooks falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.
The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
It grades out a shrug today, with plenty of room to move either way.
Pick Analysis
Pick54
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
The board had Tyleik Williams higher than the 54th overall pick, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87
Rnd3
Kyle McCord
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Kyle McCord. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick122
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
Somehow Donovan Jackson was still sitting there in the 122nd pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. The roster fit checks out.
Pick158
Rnd5
Chris Paul Jr.
They barely believed it either: Chris Paul Jr. still on the board at pick 158. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick196
Rnd6
Jared Wilson
The board fumbled Jared Wilson all the way to slot 196, and they scooped it up. It fills a real need, too.
Pick237
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
They reached into another round for Elijhah Badger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250
Rnd7
Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at pick 250 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Mitchell Evans
You do not let a tight end like Mitchell Evans reach Round 7, Pick 35 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick252
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Circle this one: Jack Kiser at slot 252 is a fall that decides a draft. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick253
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
This one needs a full-page explanation: Khordae Sydnor in pick No. 253, miles early. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick254
Rnd7
Fred Davis
Fred Davis at the 254th overall pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
A running back of that caliber at No. 255 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
