Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Simon: B. The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: Cody Simon, the No. 136 name on the board, sitting there at No. 200 like a gift left on the doorstep. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
The cost of the Williams reach is exactly the players who went right after him. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 6 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
The veteran additions, LaDarius Henderson chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jack Sawyer
In pick No. 23 they get a bendy edge with upside, even if it was a touch early. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A tidy little value on Trey Amos in slot 54, a step better than break-even. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick89
Rnd3
Jack Bech
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Jack Bech in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Rylie Mills
Value said wait; Rylie Mills in Round 4, Pick 22 says they were not listening. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A tidy bit of business in No. 160, where Jonah Monheim graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 200th pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203
Rnd6
Nohl Williams
They reached into another round for Nohl Williams, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick204
Rnd6
Theo Wease Jr.
A reach for Theo Wease Jr. in the 204th overall pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Luke Lachey
Luke Lachey in Round 7, Pick 21 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick No. 251 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
