FutureB-
Grand theft in the 169th overall pick: the Packers steal Pratt and grade out a B+. Whoever sat across the table from the Packers should ask for a receipt. They cleaned the room out, prying loose far more value than they gave up, and it was the quiet MVP of their weekend.
However the rest shakes out, Pratt at that price is a win they earned. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Edge rusher was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.
The imported veterans give this class a floor the draft picks could not on their own.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at the Round 2 slot is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick41
Rnd2
Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan in slot 41 lands just on the right side of the ledger. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Fair-plus on Junior Colson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick65
Rnd3
Kris Jenkins
Kris Jenkins at pick 65 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jaden Hicks
A tidy little value on Jaden Hicks in No. 88, a step better than break-even. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95
Rnd3
Trey Benson
Trey Benson in the 95th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick126
Rnd4
Elijah Jones
Elijah Jones slid further than he should have, and the 126th overall pick is lovely value for the cornerback. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick159
Rnd5
Brennan Jackson
Brennan Jackson at pick 159 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick169
Rnd5
Michael Pratt
Michael Pratt in slot 169 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick202
Rnd6
Cornelius Johnson
They read the board right and Cornelius Johnson was the payoff at pick No. 202. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
They let Jaylan Ford come to them and pounced at Round 6, Pick 44. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick220
Rnd6
Myles Harden
The board had Myles Harden higher than No. 220, and the cornerback fell to them anyway. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick245
Rnd7
Nathan Thomas
A offensive lineman of that caliber at the Round 7 slot is the definition of value, full stop. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255
Rnd7
Josh Proctor
Value with a capital V on Josh Proctor in the 255th pick, a genuine coup. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
