FutureB-
The Packers did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B. The Packers went off the board in a big way for Dont'e Thornton Jr., 24 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another. The bottom line is a respectable B.
The Horton value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
They squeezed a little extra out of every move they made. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Walter Nolen
In pick No. 31 they get an anchor for the defensive front at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Amos
A reasonable price with a little left over, Trey Amos in the Round 2 slot. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick66
Rnd3
Tate Ratledge
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Tate Ratledge. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
Danny Stutsman
No drama and no debate, Danny Stutsman went about where he belonged in pick 87. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Nice patience on Tory Horton, who had no business lasting to No. 124. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick159
Rnd5
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Value said wait; Dont'e Thornton Jr. in slot 159 says they were not listening. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick198
Rnd6
CJ West
CJ West at the 198th overall pick is money in the bank, a interior defensive lineman taken below his worth. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick226
Rnd7
Phil Mafah
No edge and no loss on Phil Mafah in the 226th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick237
Rnd7
Jamon Dumas-Johnson
They went early on Jamon Dumas-Johnson in slot 237, and the value did not follow. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick250
Rnd7
Hunter Wohler
Hunter Wohler at pick No. 250 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
