FutureA
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Restrepo: B+. You could see the war room lean forward. Xavier Restrepo at pick 246 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B+.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most. The future picks help the war chest more than the win-now roster.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick31
Rnd1
Bralen Trice
In pick 31 they get a premier pass rusher, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick57
Rnd2
Kiran Amegadjie
Kiran Amegadjie in No. 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. slid further than he should have, and the Round 3 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick92
Rnd3
Sedrick Van Pran
A straight-up fair deal on Sedrick Van Pran at pick No. 92, value and slot in agreement. The roster fit checks out.
Pick106
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen in slot 106 is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick125
Rnd4
Matt Goncalves
Circle this one: Matt Goncalves at the 125th pick is a fall that decides a draft. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick135
Rnd4
James Williams
James Williams in Round 4, Pick 35 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick144
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
The board had Kamal Hadden higher than the 144th overall pick, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick154
Rnd5
Mike Sainristil
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Mike Sainristil in Round 5, Pick 18, plain and simple. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick184
Rnd6
Jaylen Harrell
Jaylen Harrell at the 184th overall pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick203
Rnd6
Darius Muasau
A tidy bit of business in slot 203, where Darius Muasau graded well above the range. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick209
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Value with a capital V on Joshua Gray in pick No. 209, a genuine coup. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick217
Rnd6
Isaiah Davis
They paid sticker price for Isaiah Davis in pick 217, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick219
Rnd6
Dwight McGlothern
No edge and no loss on Dwight McGlothern in the 219th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick246
Rnd7
Xavier Restrepo
Steal is underselling it; Xavier Restrepo at No. 246 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
