Hall Jr. should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B. Thirty-one other rooms let Michael Hall Jr. slide, and the Packers were the ones holding the card at Round 4, Pick 3. Highway robbery.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. They are betting Allen proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.
Pick Analysis
Pick19
Rnd1
Jared Verse
Jared Verse at Round 1, Pick 19 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick41
Rnd2
Kamren Kinchens
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Kamren Kinchens in slot 41. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick64
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
They read the board right and Kiran Amegadjie was the payoff at No. 64. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick92
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
TreVeyon Henderson at pick No. 92 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick95
Rnd3
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at pick 95 is a conviction pick that outran the value. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick103
Rnd4
Michael Hall Jr.
Michael Hall Jr. in the Round 4 slot should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. The roster fit checks out.
Pick119
Rnd4
Donovan Jackson
A tidy little value on Donovan Jackson in the 119th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It fills a real need, too.
Pick134
Rnd4
Kamal Hadden
They did well to land Kamal Hadden in the 134th pick, just ahead of his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick135
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
Sataoa Laumea at pick 135 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick169
Rnd5
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 169 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick197
Rnd6
Bru McCoy
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bru McCoy at the 197th overall pick is the proof. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick217
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
They barely believed it either: Joshua Gray still on the board at pick No. 217. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tatum Bethune
A tidy bit of business in slot 219, where Tatum Bethune graded well above the range. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick224
Rnd7
Zion Nelson
The board had Zion Nelson higher than the 224th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick240
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
By-the-book stuff, Ja'Had Carter at Round 7, Pick 20 squarely in line with his ranking. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
