FutureB
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Packers to a D. The Packers bet big and early on Fadil Diggs, 63 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. The board pushed back all weekend, and the D is the result.
Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bryant.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
A rough weekend that leaves the roster with more questions than answers.
Pick Analysis
Pick24
Rnd1
Landon Jackson
In No. 24 they get a disruptor off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at pick 55 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick91
Rnd3
Elic Ayomanor
Elic Ayomanor in the 91st overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick110
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at pick No. 110 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It fills a real need, too.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jake Majors
A quiet steal in Round 4, Pick 22: Jake Majors for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124
Rnd4
Ajani Cornelius
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 124, where Ajani Cornelius graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick136
Rnd4
O'Donnell Fortune
O'Donnell Fortune in slot 136 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 141st pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
A slide stopped in the Round 5 slot, with Jonah Monheim worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick163
Rnd5
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in Round 5, Pick 24 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick200
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West in the 200th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick231
Rnd7
Cobee Bryant
Circle this one: Cobee Bryant at pick 231 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick239
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
A real head-scratcher, Elijhah Badger in No. 239 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Nick Martin
A premium they did not need to pay, Nick Martin a notch or two before his time. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick252
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
Value said wait; Garrett Dellinger in slot 252 says they were not listening. A need, and now a little less of one.
