The phones sank the Packers this weekend: D+. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Tyler Batty at the Round 5 slot, roughly 80 spots before his name belonged.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Sanders. The trade table is where this weekend went wrong.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Nick Emmanwori
In the Round 1 slot they get a two-high chess piece. Need was not the driver here.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jordan Burch
Jordan Burch at pick 54 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
No drama and no debate, Darius Alexander went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 23. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Tory Horton in pick No. 124 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Jacob Parrish in slot 126. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick134
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon is a better player than No. 134 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142
Rnd5
Nohl Williams
The board fumbled Nohl Williams all the way to slot 142, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tyler Batty
Value said wait; Tyler Batty in pick No. 159 says they were not listening. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick161
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Logan Brown at the Round 5 slot is the proof. The roster fit checks out.
Pick165
Rnd5
Tai Felton
Tai Felton in the 165th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick168
Rnd5
CJ West
A conviction pick on CJ West at No. 168 that the board grades a round light. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick169
Rnd5
Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at the 169th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick170
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at pick 170 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick173
Rnd5
Riley Leonard
They robbed the room for Riley Leonard here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick177
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
The board had Seth McLaughlin higher than pick 177, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. It fills a real need, too.
Pick194
Rnd6
Oronde Gadsden II
By-the-book stuff, Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick198
Rnd6
Nick Nash
You do not let a wide receiver like Nick Nash reach Round 6, Pick 22 and blink. They did not. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick206
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Tahj Brooks at the 206th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at No. 237 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Nick Martin
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Nick Martin. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick251
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Joshua Simon well ahead of where he belonged. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick253
Rnd7
Raheim Sanders
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Raheim Sanders in the 253rd overall pick, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick257
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
A wild overpay on Elijhah Badger in the 257th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A need, and now a little less of one.
