Grand theft in pick No. 200: the Packers steal Gadsden II and grade out a D+. The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Elijhah Badger, taking him 52 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They banked enough surplus on Gadsden II to cover a lot of smaller sins.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, quarterback very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Wyatt Milum
In Round 1, Pick 31 they get a plug-and-play piece up front at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Trey Amos
They paid sticker price for Trey Amos in the 49th overall pick, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick54
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
They reached into another round for Donovan Ezeiruaku, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. at pick No. 66 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
You do not let a wide receiver like Jalen Royals reach Round 3, Pick 23 and blink. They did not. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
They jumped the gun on Darius Alexander, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick154
Rnd5
Mello Dotson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Mello Dotson in the Round 5 slot. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick160
Rnd5
Kobe King
A linebacker of that caliber at pick 160 is the definition of value, full stop. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick200
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
They barely believed it either: Oronde Gadsden II still on the board at the 200th pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at slot 239 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
A wild overpay on Elijhah Badger in No. 251, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick256
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A big swing on Garrett Dellinger at the 256th overall pick, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
