FutureA+
A masterclass at the trade table lands the Packers a A-. The Packers did not so much draft John Morgan III as overpay for him, 91 picks clear of his grade. It sets an uneasy tone for the weekend.
Getting Corley where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck.
It is not that Liufau is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first. They will regret leaving tight end for another day if the season turns on it.
Bottom line, they did the job about as well as it can be done.
Pick Analysis
Pick38
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Ennis Rakestraw Jr.. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
A tidy bit of business in the 49th overall pick, where Jordan Morgan graded well above the range. It fills a real need, too.
Pick51
Rnd2
Tyler Guyton
A top-tier offensive lineman at a bargain, Tyler Guyton in Round 2, Pick 19, plain and simple. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
They took Kiran Amegadjie at par in slot 67, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick69
Rnd3
Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson in pick 69 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick74
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
By-the-book stuff, Jaylen Wright at No. 74 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick79
Rnd3
Kamren Kinchens
Nothing to complain about; Kamren Kinchens went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick88
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine slipping to slot 88 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick89
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
Good price on Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 26, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick91
Rnd3
Malachi Corley
Steal is underselling it; Malachi Corley at the 91st overall pick is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The roster fit checks out.
Pick94
Rnd3
Tommy Eichenberg
They reached a country mile for Tommy Eichenberg at the 94th pick, and the board is aghast. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick97
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
A reach on Mekhi Wingo in pick No. 97; the board had better options right there. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick98
Rnd3
Trey Benson
They paid sticker price for Trey Benson in No. 98, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick100
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick110
Rnd4
Dominick Puni
Dominick Puni in Round 4, Pick 10 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick112
Rnd4
Marist Liufau
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending slot 112 on Marist Liufau with tight end unsolved.
Pick114
Rnd4
Nelson Ceaser
They talked themselves into Nelson Ceaser at the Round 4 slot, and the board did not agree. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick120
Rnd4
Javon Foster
Javon Foster at No. 120 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Justin Eboigbe
Justin Eboigbe in the 126th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick127
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Somehow Braelon Allen was still sitting there in pick 127, and they pounced on premier running back value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick142
Rnd5
Jordan Travis
Jordan Travis at pick No. 142 is a conviction pick that outran the value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick148
Rnd5
Josh Newton
Josh Newton at the 148th pick is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Ainias Smith
The board fumbled Ainias Smith all the way to slot 168, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick173
Rnd5
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
This one needs a full-page explanation: Javontae Jean-Baptiste in pick 173, miles early. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick176
Rnd6
Mason McCormick
A quiet steal in Round 6, Pick 1: Mason McCormick for less than the market said. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick181
Rnd6
Kitan Oladapo
Kitan Oladapo in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick199
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jaylan Ford in No. 199. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick204
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
Dwight McGlothern at the 204th overall pick is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick216
Rnd6
Logan Lee
Logan Lee at pick No. 216 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick219
Rnd6
Tyrice Knight
Tyrice Knight in the 219th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick220
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in slot 220 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
Pick230
Rnd7
Elijah Jones
Taking Elijah Jones in the 230th pick is close to grand larceny; a cornerback that good had no business lasting this long. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick235
Rnd7
Edefuan Ulofoshio
A conviction pick on Edefuan Ulofoshio at Round 7, Pick 15 that the board grades a round light. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick238
Rnd7
Garret Greenfield
You do not let an offensive lineman like Garret Greenfield reach No. 238 and blink. They did not. The roster fit checks out.
Pick243
Rnd7
KT Leveston
They did well to land KT Leveston in pick No. 243, just ahead of his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick244
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
They went early on Tatum Bethune in the Round 7 slot, and the value did not follow. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick251
Rnd7
John Morgan III
John Morgan III at the 251st overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
