FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B for the Packers. The Packers looked at the value chart, folded it up, and took Rondell Bothroyd at slot 224 regardless, 62 picks early. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.
Getting Zinter where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Packers indulged a want in Smith while a need in quarterback, tight end and other spots stayed open.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Jordan Morgan
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
They will replay Tyler Nubin at the 51st pick for years; that is how good the value is. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
They paid sticker price for Jonathon Brooks in the Round 2 slot, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick83
Rnd3
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in pick No. 83 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson slid further than he should have, and No. 100 is lovely value for the wide receiver. The roster fit checks out.
Pick103
Rnd4
Maason Smith
Of all the spots to shop, they chose DT-EDGE. Maason Smith in Round 4, Pick 3 leaves quarterback, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick125
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
Taking Marist Liufau in No. 125 is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick135
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They robbed the room for Khyree Jackson here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139
Rnd5
Zak Zinter
The board fumbled Zak Zinter all the way to pick No. 139, and they scooped it up. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick141
Rnd5
James Williams
James Williams in pick 141 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick181
Rnd6
Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at the 181st pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick203
Rnd6
Stefon Thompson
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Stefon Thompson. Hard to map this one onto the depth chart at all.
Pick217
Rnd6
Miyan Williams
Miyan Williams slipping to slot 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick219
Rnd6
Omar Speights
Omar Speights at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick223
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
The board had cheaper options than Nathaniel Watson at the 223rd overall pick, and it noticed. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick224
Rnd7
Rondell Bothroyd
They reached into another round for Rondell Bothroyd, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick246
Rnd7
Xavier Thomas
They paid up for Xavier Thomas at the 246th pick when waiting would have done the job. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
