FutureB-
The Packers let Emmanwori fall and pounced. Final grade: D. Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Packers spent pick 204 on Tyler Batty, a name most had 35 spots down the list. Put together, it is a D.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
The Simon pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with running back and tight end still on the board. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Emmanwori.
Bottom line, they will be counting on several picks to beat their grades.
Pick Analysis
Pick30
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In pick No. 30 they get a ballhawk on the outside, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
Jihaad Campbell at the Round 2 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick56
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Taking Nick Emmanwori in No. 56 is close to grand larceny; a safety that good had no business lasting this long. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick62
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at pick 62 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick87
Rnd3
Maxwell Hairston
A slide stopped in No. 87, with Maxwell Hairston worth more than the price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick116
Rnd4
Chimere Dike
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 116, where Chimere Dike graded well above the range. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cody Simon adds a linebacker and leaves running back and tight end untouched.
Pick135
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
Value said wait; Tyler Baron in the 135th pick says they were not listening. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick150
Rnd5
Logan Brown
Fair-plus on Logan Brown, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The roster fit checks out.
Pick155
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They reached a country mile for Jonah Monheim at slot 155, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159
Rnd5
CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in Round 5, Pick 21 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 169th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick204
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
A wild overpay on Tyler Batty in slot 204, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick237
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
The board had Carson Vinson higher than the 237th overall pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick239
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at pick No. 239 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Brady Cook
Brady Cook at the Round 7 slot is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
