FutureB-
The Packers lost the trade table, and the D+ tells the story. The Packers went off the board in a big way for Jasheen Davis, 121 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. A weekend that fought the value and lost, hence the D+.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Winston Jr..
The veteran additions, Cooper DeJean chief among them, give the class a floor the rookies alone would not. Job largely done: edge rusher settled and 8 of 8 of the wish list covered.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Jahdae Barron
In the 23rd pick they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
They paid sticker price for Jayden Higgins in slot 54, and that is fine. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick87
Rnd3
Charles Grant
A straight-up fair deal on Charles Grant at Round 3, Pick 23, value and slot in agreement. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Value with a capital V on Tory Horton in No. 124, a genuine coup. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick125
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
Tyler Baron at the 125th overall pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cody Simon. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kevin Winston Jr.
Somehow Kevin Winston Jr. was still sitting there in No. 134, and they pounced on premier safety value. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick142
Rnd5
Logan Brown
By-the-book stuff, Logan Brown at pick 142 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A slide stopped in the 158th overall pick, with Tyler Shough worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick159
Rnd5
Que Robinson
A big swing on Que Robinson at the Round 5 slot, well ahead of any board in the building. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick161
Rnd5
Jonah Monheim
They paid a round early for Jonah Monheim in slot 161, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
CJ West
They talked themselves into CJ West at the 164th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick165
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Dont'e Thornton Jr. well ahead of where he belonged. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jack Kiser
Jack Kiser at Round 6, Pick 5 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick194
Rnd6
Thomas Fidone II
Thomas Fidone II in pick 194 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198
Rnd6
Tahj Brooks
Tahj Brooks in No. 198 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick199
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Carson Vinson. It fills a real need, too.
Pick209
Rnd6
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in the 209th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick214
Rnd6
Teddye Buchanan
They left a pile of value on the table to take Teddye Buchanan this early at slot 214. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in the 237th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick250
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
Value said wait; Elijhah Badger in Round 7, Pick 34 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick256
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
Joshua Simon at the Round 7 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
