FutureB+
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Linton: B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend. No fireworks, but a solid B+.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Linton. Leaving quarterback unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Davis left real value on the table behind him.
The Packers paired the rookies with proven help, Steve Avila leading the way.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick35
Rnd2
Graham Barton
They took Graham Barton at par in Round 2, Pick 3, which is nothing to complain about. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick41
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell in slot 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
No drama and no debate, Calen Bullock went about where he belonged in pick 51. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick71
Rnd3
Jonathon Brooks
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in pick No. 71; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick83
Rnd3
Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at the 83rd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Trey Benson at the Round 3 slot is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick119
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Khyree Jackson. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
A quiet steal in slot 135: Mohamed Kamara for less than the market said. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick140
Rnd5
Cam Hart
Cam Hart slid further than he should have, and the 140th pick is lovely value for the cornerback. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: Isaiah Davis in Round 6, Pick 22, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick217
Rnd6
Steve Linton
Steve Linton at pick 217 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd6
Zakhari Franklin
A tidy little value on Zakhari Franklin in No. 219, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick240
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson in pick No. 240 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
