Moore should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a D+. You can fall in love with a player. You are not supposed to marry him in the wrong round. The Packers did exactly that with Joshua Simon in Round 7, Pick 41.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. The Moore pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick44
Rnd2
Landon Jackson
A straight-up fair deal on Landon Jackson at the 44th pick, value and slot in agreement. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick54
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
No edge and no loss on Azareye'h Thomas in slot 54; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick76
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jayden Higgins at the 76th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick87
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
Ashton Gillotte at pick 87 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick88
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Darius Alexander. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick90
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at No. 90 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick101
Rnd3
Tory Horton
A conviction pick on Tory Horton at the Round 3 slot that the board grades a round light. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick124
Rnd4
Nohl Williams
No drama and no debate, Nohl Williams went about where he belonged in the 124th overall pick. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at pick 126 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick127
Rnd4
Ozzy Trapilo
They barely believed it either: Ozzy Trapilo still on the board at pick No. 127. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick149
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
They jumped the gun on Ty Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick150
Rnd5
Elijah Roberts
They reached a country mile for Elijah Roberts at Round 5, Pick 12, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick195
Rnd6
Malachi Moore
They robbed the room for Malachi Moore here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tyler Shough
Steal is underselling it; Tyler Shough at slot 198 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick221
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
They took Carson Vinson at par in Round 7, Pick 5, which is nothing to complain about. The roster fit checks out.
Pick237
Rnd7
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks at pick 237 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick250
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in pick No. 250 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick251
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Value with a capital V on Isaac TeSlaa in No. 251, a genuine coup. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick257
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
This one needs a full-page explanation: Joshua Simon in the 257th pick, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
