FutureB-
The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and McCord: D. The rest of the league will want that one back. Kyle McCord tumbling to the Packers in the 239th pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about.
Every board in the league had Roberts lower, and that gap is the story. They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back.
Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, running back very much included.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Emeka Egbuka
In pick No. 23 they get a matchup problem out wide. A real need, handled.
Pick57
Rnd2
Demetrius Knight Jr.
Demetrius Knight Jr. in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick58
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 58 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ozzy Trapilo
They took Ozzy Trapilo at par in No. 87, which is nothing to complain about. It fills a real need, too.
Pick110
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander at slot 110 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick123
Rnd4
Jared Wilson
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jared Wilson at Round 4, Pick 22. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Elijah Roberts
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Elijah Roberts. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick141
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
They talked themselves into Quincy Riley at the 141st pick, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick160
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
Jonah Monheim slid further than he should have, and the 160th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick200
Rnd6
Pat Bryant
Pat Bryant in No. 200 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick239
Rnd7
Kyle McCord
Kyle McCord at the 239th pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick243
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon in pick 243 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick251
Rnd7
Nick Martin
Nick Martin at Round 7, Pick 33 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick252
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Taking Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
