FutureB-
The Packers turned the phones into found money: B+. The Packers ran the phones like sharks, prying loose value on deal after deal until the ledger was lopsided. Call it a sensible B+, earned the boring way.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. Rakestraw Jr. falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick28
Rnd1
Amarius Mims
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Amarius Mims in slot 28. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick41
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell in pick 41 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick51
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
Calen Bullock at the 51st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick58
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in the 58th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick83
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A straight-up fair deal on Brenden Rice at pick No. 83, value and slot in agreement. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
A reasonable price with a little left over, TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 28. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick92
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
A tidy bit of business in No. 119, where Tommy Eichenberg graded well above the range. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick138
Rnd5
Shemar Turner
They paid sticker price for Shemar Turner in slot 138, and that is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick197
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
No drama and no debate, Joshua Gray went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick210
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
Curtis Jacobs slipping to the 210th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick217
Rnd6
Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune is a better player than No. 217 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick219
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
Isaiah Davis at pick 219 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick240
Rnd7
Eric Gentry
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Eric Gentry. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
