FutureB
The Packers robbed the room for Henderson. Final grade: B-. The board owed the Packers one, and it paid up: TreVeyon Henderson, the No. 53 name on the board, sitting there at Round 3, Pick 26 like a gift left on the doorstep. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.
The Vinson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.
The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Mike Green
In the 25th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick54
Rnd2
Donovan Ezeiruaku
Donovan Ezeiruaku at the 54th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick90
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A top-tier running back at a bargain, TreVeyon Henderson in the Round 3 slot, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick124
Rnd4
Chimere Dike
Steal is underselling it; Chimere Dike at No. 124 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cody Simon
They paid sticker price for Cody Simon in pick 126, and that is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick127
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
Zy Alexander at pick No. 127 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick134
Rnd4
Ty Hamilton
A clean, defensible pick in Round 4, Pick 32 with a little surplus value in Ty Hamilton. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick142
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
Ty Robinson at slot 142 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick159
Rnd5
Jonas Sanker
They will replay Jonas Sanker at No. 159 for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick161
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
A wild overpay on Willie Lampkin in the 161st overall pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick164
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
Tyler Shough at Round 5, Pick 26 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick165
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the 165th pick is miles ahead of his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick166
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West at pick 166 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick194
Rnd6
Drew Kendall
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Drew Kendall. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in pick No. 198 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick237
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Value said wait; Teddye Buchanan in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick250
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa in pick 250 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. The roster fit checks out.
