FutureD
The Packers went off-script early, and it cost them a F. The Packers bet big and early on Jasheen Davis, 102 picks ahead of the board. Bold does not always mean right. A F, plain and simple.
The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. They banked enough surplus on Emmanwori to cover a lot of smaller sins.
It is a win-now wager, and the future is the stake. The Packers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.
Bottom line, it will take a lot of luck to make this look better later.
Pick Analysis
Pick23
Rnd1
Armand Membou
In the Round 1 slot they get a plug-and-play piece up front, outstanding value to boot.
Pick58
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at the 58th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick59
Rnd2
Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery is a better player than the 59th pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick60
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jayden Higgins in Round 2, Pick 28. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick61
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
They took Maxwell Hairston at par in slot 61, which is nothing to complain about. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick66
Rnd3
Harold Fannin Jr.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Harold Fannin Jr. in pick No. 66. It fills a real need, too.
Pick68
Rnd3
Carson Schwesinger
They paid sticker price for Carson Schwesinger in the 68th pick, and that is fine. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick87
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
A straight-up fair deal on Darius Alexander at pick 87, value and slot in agreement. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick95
Rnd3
Jared Wilson
Jared Wilson in the 95th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick108
Rnd4
Zy Alexander
No edge and no loss on Zy Alexander in the Round 4 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick109
Rnd4
Cam Skattebo
They barely believed it either: Cam Skattebo still on the board at slot 109. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cody Simon
Cody Simon at No. 124 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick134
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in pick No. 134, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tyler Shough
A tidy bit of business in Round 5, Pick 21, where Tyler Shough graded well above the range. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick161
Rnd5
Ty Robinson
They jumped the gun on Ty Robinson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick164
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
A real head-scratcher, Dont'e Thornton Jr. in pick 164 is miles ahead of his ranking. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick165
Rnd5
CJ West
CJ West at slot 165 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick168
Rnd5
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in the 168th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick198
Rnd6
Ollie Gordon II
Ollie Gordon II in the 198th overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick199
Rnd6
Connor Colby
Nice patience on Connor Colby, who had no business lasting to the Round 6 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick214
Rnd6
Ricky White III
Ricky White III at pick No. 214 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at Round 7, Pick 10 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick228
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone in the 228th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick237
Rnd7
Isaac TeSlaa
Isaac TeSlaa at the 237th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It fills a real need, too.
Pick245
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
A reach on Teddye Buchanan in slot 245; the board had better options right there. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick250
Rnd7
Elijhah Badger
Elijhah Badger at pick 250 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick251
Rnd7
Joshua Simon
They talked themselves into Joshua Simon at Round 7, Pick 35, and the board did not agree. The roster fit checks out.
Pick257
Rnd7
Jasheen Davis
They reached a country mile for Jasheen Davis at pick No. 257, and the board is aghast. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
