FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B-. The Packers spent real capital to be 112 picks early on Jacobe Covington, and the board is going to hold them to it.
The Skattebo steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Quantity was the play, for better or worse.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
Shemar Stewart at the Round 1 slot is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick58
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
No drama and no debate, Azareye'h Thomas went about where he belonged in No. 58. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
They read the board right and Jayden Higgins was the payoff at the 87th overall pick. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick123
Rnd4
Harold Fannin Jr.
You do not let a tight end like Harold Fannin Jr. reach pick 123 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick127
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Jordan Phillips is a better player than slot 127 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick176
Rnd5
Jake Majors
Jake Majors at pick No. 176 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick200
Rnd6
Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at No. 200, and the board is aghast. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick203
Rnd6
Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at slot 203. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204
Rnd6
Smael Mondon Jr.
The board fumbled Smael Mondon Jr. all the way to the 204th overall pick, and they scooped it up. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick205
Rnd6
Cody Simon
Taking Cody Simon in the 205th pick is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at pick 239 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jacobe Covington
Jacobe Covington at Round 7, Pick 25 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick251
Rnd7
Jamaree Caldwell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jamaree Caldwell well ahead of where he belonged. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
