FutureB-
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Khordae Sydnor at No. 255 is 265 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline.
Landing Neal that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own. They went 8 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Grey Zabel
In the 23rd overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line, reach and all. A real need, handled.
Pick89
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A tidy bit of business in slot 89, where Maxwell Hairston graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick102
Rnd4
Harold Fannin Jr.
Taking Harold Fannin Jr. in Round 4, Pick 1 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick119
Rnd4
TreVeyon Henderson
The board fumbled TreVeyon Henderson all the way to pick 119, and they scooped it up. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick123
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
By-the-book stuff, O'Donnell Fortune at pick No. 123 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Chris Paul Jr.
A top-tier linebacker at a bargain, Chris Paul Jr. in the 142nd pick, plain and simple. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick160
Rnd5
Darius Alexander
They robbed the room for Darius Alexander here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick167
Rnd5
Barryn Sorrell
Barryn Sorrell at pick 167 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick170
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A reach on Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 170th pick; the board had better options right there. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick172
Rnd5
Jake Majors
They barely believed it either: Jake Majors still on the board at the 172nd overall pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick174
Rnd5
Brady Cook
A big swing on Brady Cook at No. 174, well ahead of any board in the building. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick190
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West at pick No. 190 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200
Rnd6
Cody Simon
They will replay Cody Simon at the Round 6 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick203
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
You do not let a tight end like Oronde Gadsden II reach Round 6, Pick 25 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick204
Rnd6
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim at the Round 6 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick206
Rnd6
Devin Neal
A running back of that caliber at the 206th overall pick is the definition of value, full stop. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick208
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
Circle this one: Smael Mondon Jr. at Round 6, Pick 30 is a fall that decides a draft. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick239
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Theo Wease Jr. in pick No. 239 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick249
Rnd7
Upton Stout
Somehow Upton Stout was still sitting there in the 249th pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
They reached a country mile for Jamaree Caldwell at slot 251, and the board is aghast. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick252
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Garrett Dellinger well ahead of where he belonged. The roster fit checks out.
Pick253
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger in No. 253 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick254
Rnd7
Ben Sauls
Ben Sauls in Round 7, Pick 36 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick255
Rnd7
Khordae Sydnor
They talked themselves into Khordae Sydnor at pick No. 255, and the board did not agree. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
