FutureC-
Nobody dealt better than the Packers this weekend: B. The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Ethan Downs, taking him 40 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.
If one pick saves this weekend, it is Emmanwori. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Leaving tight end unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the tight end spot they never got to.
Pick Analysis
Pick1
Rnd1
Travis Hunter
In the 1st overall pick they get an island corner at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick50
Rnd2
Cameron Williams
They reached a country mile for Cameron Williams at slot 50, and the board is aghast. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick53
Rnd2
Nick Emmanwori
A safety of that caliber at pick No. 53 is the definition of value, full stop. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick54
Rnd2
Alfred Collins
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Alfred Collins. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick59
Rnd2
Azareye'h Thomas
Nothing to complain about; Azareye'h Thomas went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jalen Royals
Taking Jalen Royals in No. 87 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick103
Rnd4
Jalen Milroe
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Jalen Milroe at the Round 4 slot. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick118
Rnd4
Jordan Phillips
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Phillips at pick No. 118 is the proof. It fills a real need, too.
Pick124
Rnd4
Chimere Dike
Chimere Dike at pick 124 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick137
Rnd4
Kobe King
A slide stopped in the 137th overall pick, with Kobe King worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick141
Rnd5
Emery Jones Jr.
Emery Jones Jr. in slot 141 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The roster fit checks out.
Pick159
Rnd5
Quincy Riley
Nice patience on Quincy Riley, who had no business lasting to the 159th pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick167
Rnd5
Trevor Etienne
A quiet steal in No. 167: Trevor Etienne for less than the market said. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick178
Rnd6
Seth McLaughlin
Seth McLaughlin at Round 6, Pick 2 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick188
Rnd6
Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the 188th pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick204
Rnd6
Dont'e Thornton Jr.
Dont'e Thornton Jr. in the Round 6 slot is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick218
Rnd7
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in No. 218 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick237
Rnd7
Caleb Ransaw
Circle this one: Caleb Ransaw at the 237th overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick242
Rnd7
Mac McWilliams
By-the-book stuff, Mac McWilliams at pick 242 squarely in line with his ranking. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247
Rnd7
Zeek Biggers
A reach for Zeek Biggers in slot 247; a little patience would have been rewarded. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick250
Rnd7
Ethan Downs
They reached into another round for Ethan Downs, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick257
Rnd7
Theo Wease Jr.
Good price on Theo Wease Jr. in pick No. 257, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
