FutureC
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Ford: B+. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. Jaylan Ford, the No. 205 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 245. Good, not great, and the B+ says as much.
They won the margins on every swap, and it adds up fast. Gore Jr. has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
JC Latham
A slide stopped in slot 25, with JC Latham worth more than the price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick41
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Good price on Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 41st overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick88
Rnd3
Xavier Worthy
The board fumbled Xavier Worthy all the way to No. 88, and they scooped it up. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick91
Rnd3
Cade Stover
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cade Stover at the 91st pick. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick202
Rnd6
Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. at pick 202 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick219
Rnd6
KT Leveston
KT Leveston at pick No. 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Jaylan Ford
They robbed the room for Jaylan Ford here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick255
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Circle this one: Michael Barrett at Round 7, Pick 35 is a fall that decides a draft. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
