FutureB-
A costly weekend of dealing drags the Packers to a C. Nobody else had Jasheen Davis anywhere near pick No. 253. The Packers did, by 102 spots, and that gap is the whole story. Fine in stretches, shaky in others: a C.
That Thomas pick is the receipt they will wave around later. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
Hit on Matthew Golden and the swing picks, and this ages a lot better than it grades today.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Matthew Golden
You do not let a wide receiver like Matthew Golden reach slot 34 and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick54
Rnd2
Grey Zabel
Grey Zabel in the 54th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick65
Rnd3
Trey Amos
Nice patience on Trey Amos, who had no business lasting to pick No. 65. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick87
Rnd3
Elijah Roberts
They left a pile of value on the table to take Elijah Roberts this early at Round 3, Pick 23. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick124
Rnd4
Azareye'h Thomas
Azareye'h Thomas at No. 124 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick129
Rnd4
Jacob Parrish
Jacob Parrish is a better player than slot 129 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick136
Rnd4
Jaylin Noel
Circle this one: Jaylin Noel at Round 4, Pick 34 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick142
Rnd5
Tory Horton
They robbed the room for Tory Horton here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick154
Rnd5
Rylie Mills
Somehow Rylie Mills was still sitting there in the 154th overall pick, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick159
Rnd5
Joshua Farmer
Joshua Farmer in the Round 5 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick161
Rnd5
Mitchell Evans
They will replay Mitchell Evans at pick No. 161 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick164
Rnd5
CJ West
A swing that ignored the value entirely, CJ West well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165
Rnd5
Jonas Sanker
Jonas Sanker at pick 165 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick168
Rnd5
Jack Kiser
A conviction pick on Jack Kiser at the 168th overall pick that the board grades a round light. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick194
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
They talked themselves into Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 194, and the board did not agree. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick237
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson slid further than he should have, and Round 7, Pick 21 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
A top-tier running back at a bargain, Tahj Brooks in the Round 7 slot, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick251
Rnd7
Brady Cook
They reached a country mile for Brady Cook at the 251st pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis at pick 253 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick257
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
A big swing on Joshua Simon at No. 257, well ahead of any board in the building. The roster fit checks out.
