FutureB
Good, not great, for the Packers: B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 281 spots for Khordae Sydnor, and value like that does not grow back.
The Gadsden II value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick54
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
They paid up for Azareye'h Thomas at pick No. 54 when waiting would have done the job. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick56
Rnd2
Jared Ivey
They reached a country mile for Jared Ivey at the 56th overall pick, and the board is aghast. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick63
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
They went early on Maxwell Hairston in the 63rd pick, and the value did not follow. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
A slide stopped in No. 87, with Jayden Higgins worth more than the price. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in Round 4, Pick 22, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick132
Rnd4
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in slot 132 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Nice patience on Jonah Monheim, who had no business lasting to pick 160. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick171
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West at the Round 5 slot is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It fills a real need, too.
Pick200
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A tidy bit of business in the 200th pick, where Dont'e Thornton Jr. graded well above the range. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick206
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in slot 206, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick239
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
Khordae Sydnor at pick No. 239 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jaylen Reed
Jaylen Reed in No. 251 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick256
Rnd7
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin slid further than he should have, and the 256th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
