Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Restrepo: B. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Xavier Restrepo, the No. 223 name on the board, should have been long gone before Round 7, Pick 26.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Small wins on the phones, but wins all the same. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
They trusted the board more than the depth chart.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Bralen Trice
In the 25th overall pick they get a problem off the edge. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
A tidy little value on Calen Bullock in slot 57, a step better than break-even. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick64
Rnd2
Patrick Paul
A slide stopped in Round 2, Pick 32, with Patrick Paul worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick86
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They did well to land Trey Benson in pick No. 86, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany in the 88th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick95
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
Marist Liufau in pick 95 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick125
Rnd4
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe slid further than he should have, and No. 125 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. The roster fit checks out.
Pick135
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
Nice patience on Khyree Jackson, who had no business lasting to the Round 4 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick164
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
Ainias Smith at pick 164 is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169
Rnd5
Malik Mustapha
They let Malik Mustapha come to them and pounced at slot 169. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick203
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick217
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
Darius Muasau at the 217th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick219
Rnd6
Zakhari Franklin
A clean, defensible pick in No. 219 with a little surplus value in Zakhari Franklin. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick231
Rnd7
Dwight McGlothern
A quiet steal in the 231st pick: Dwight McGlothern for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick246
Rnd7
Xavier Restrepo
Xavier Restrepo at pick No. 246 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick253
Rnd7
Jeremy James
Jeremy James in Round 7, Pick 33 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
