FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took CJ West a full 29 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher. The Henderson steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same.
Quantity was the play, for better or worse.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Luther Burden III
A tidy bit of business in the 31st pick, where Luther Burden III graded well above the range. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick63
Rnd2
Maxwell Hairston
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Maxwell Hairston. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick66
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 66 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick87
Rnd3
Mason Taylor
They let Mason Taylor come to them and pounced at slot 87. The roster fit checks out.
Pick95
Rnd3
Cam Skattebo
A reasonable price with a little left over, Cam Skattebo in No. 95. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124
Rnd4
Anthony Belton
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Anthony Belton in pick 124. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick133
Rnd4
Cody Simon
No edge and no loss on Cody Simon in the 133rd overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick159
Rnd5
CJ West
They talked themselves into CJ West at slot 159, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick198
Rnd6
Drew Kendall
Fair-plus on Drew Kendall, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick237
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson at pick No. 237 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. It fills a real need, too.
Pick250
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
Teddye Buchanan at Round 7, Pick 34 is a conviction pick that outran the value. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
