The Packers let Strong fall and pounced. Final grade: C+. The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Packers watched Dorian Strong slide 32 picks past his grade and did not hesitate. Some smart calls, some head-scratchers, and a C+ in the wash.
West has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. A small leak at the table, if not a fatal one.
Hit on Shemar Stewart and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Shemar Stewart
In Round 1, Pick 23 they get a quarterback's worst nightmare, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins in No. 54 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Danny Stutsman. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick124
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
No drama and no debate, Shemar Turner went about where he belonged in slot 124. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick125
Rnd4
Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at the Round 4 slot, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish in pick No. 126 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick142
Rnd5
Logan Brown
They took Logan Brown at par in the 142nd pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
No edge and no loss on Jonah Monheim in the 159th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The roster fit checks out.
Pick194
Rnd6
CJ West
They left a pile of value on the table to take CJ West this early at pick No. 194. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick198
Rnd6
Dorian Strong
They will replay Dorian Strong at slot 198 for years; that is how good the value is. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick214
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
They reached into another round for Teddye Buchanan, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the 237th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick250
Rnd7
Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at the Round 7 slot, and the board is aghast. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
