The phones sank the Packers this weekend: D-. The rest of the league had time to spare on Tyler Baron; the Packers did not wait, grabbing him 45 spots ahead at No. 117. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.
The dealing is the wound this class cannot quite close. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Spending an early pick on linebacker with quarterback and running back open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to. That is a safety worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.
It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.
Pick Analysis
Pick45
Rnd2
Walter Nolen
Walter Nolen at the 45th overall pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It fills a real need, too.
Pick54
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
They barely believed it either: Nick Emmanwori still on the board at the 54th pick. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick56
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
A straight-up fair deal on Maxwell Hairston at Round 2, Pick 24, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick62
Rnd2
Tyleik Williams
A interior defensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 2 slot is the definition of value, full stop. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick76
Rnd3
Darien Porter
No drama and no debate, Darien Porter went about where he belonged in slot 76. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
A slide stopped in pick No. 87, with Mason Taylor worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick91
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
Danny Stutsman at the Round 3 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick109
Rnd4
Tai Felton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Tai Felton in pick No. 109. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick117
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tyler Baron in Round 4, Pick 15, miles early. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Cody Simon
A want over a need in the 124th pick: Cody Simon adds a linebacker while quarterback and running back keeps waiting.
Pick129
Rnd4
Logan Brown
They reached into another round for Logan Brown, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick159
Rnd5
Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins
Value said wait; Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins in No. 159 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick169
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
They paid up for Dont'e Thornton Jr. at pick 169 when waiting would have done the job. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick174
Rnd5
Willie Lampkin
Willie Lampkin at the 174th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Pick198
Rnd6
Fadil Diggs
Fadil Diggs in the Round 6 slot is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick206
Rnd6
Tyler Batty
A real head-scratcher, Tyler Batty in Round 6, Pick 30 is miles ahead of his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick212
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
They left a pile of value on the table to take Carson Vinson this early at No. 212. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick217
Rnd7
Bilhal Kone
Bilhal Kone at the 217th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick237
Rnd7
Caleb Rogers
Somehow Caleb Rogers was still sitting there in the 237th overall pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick250
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan in slot 250 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
