FutureB-
Abrams-Draine should have been long gone. The Packers pounced, and earned a B+. If you want a masterclass in dealing, watch the Packers, who turned every swap into a profit this weekend.
Abrams-Draine falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They are betting Ugwoegbu proves the room right and everyone else wrong.
For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. With quarterback, tight end and other spots unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Bralen Trice
Bralen Trice at the 34th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick55
Rnd2
Josh Newton
Josh Newton in slot 55 is fair value, right on his grade. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick57
Rnd2
Jonathon Brooks
No drama and no debate, Jonathon Brooks went about where he belonged in No. 57. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick68
Rnd3
Javon Bullard
A straight-up fair deal on Javon Bullard at Round 3, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick86
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
Nothing to complain about; Christian Mahogany went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88
Rnd3
Marist Liufau
By-the-book stuff, Marist Liufau at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick104
Rnd4
Khyree Jackson
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in Round 4, Pick 4, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick128
Rnd4
Sataoa Laumea
A reasonable price with a little left over, Sataoa Laumea in the 128th pick. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick135
Rnd4
James Williams
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots to take James Williams, a safety that was not the priority.
Pick138
Rnd5
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the Round 5 slot is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick164
Rnd5
Sincere Haynesworth
Sincere Haynesworth is a better player than pick No. 164 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick203
Rnd6
Braiden McGregor
Braiden McGregor in slot 203 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick206
Rnd6
David Ugwoegbu
David Ugwoegbu at pick 206 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. Where it fits the depth chart is the real question.
Pick217
Rnd6
J.J. Weaver
J.J. Weaver at the 217th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick219
Rnd6
Kenny Logan Jr.
Value with a capital V on Kenny Logan Jr. in the Round 6 slot, a genuine coup. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick224
Rnd7
Zakhari Franklin
No edge and no loss on Zakhari Franklin in slot 224; it is a wash and a sensible one. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick246
Rnd7
Carson Steele
Carson Steele at Round 7, Pick 26 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
