FutureB
The Packers let Hopper fall and pounced. Final grade: B. The rest of the league will want that one back. Ty'Ron Hopper tumbling to the Packers in the 197th overall pick is a gift they did not have to think twice about. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They will answer for taking linebacker early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging. For all the activity, quarterback went untouched, which is hard to explain. A modest surplus at the table, banked quietly.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick33
Rnd2
Tyler Nubin
Tyler Nubin at pick No. 33 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick51
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Quinyon Mitchell at pick 51 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick55
Rnd2
Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the 55th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick65
Rnd3
Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 65th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick83
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
Brenden Rice in slot 83 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick87
Rnd3
TreVeyon Henderson
No edge and no loss on TreVeyon Henderson in Round 3, Pick 24; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick97
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick119
Rnd4
Junior Colson
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Junior Colson while clear needs at quarterback, tight end and other spots sat open.
Pick123
Rnd4
Mohamed Kamara
They paid sticker price for Mohamed Kamara in pick No. 123, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick135
Rnd4
Shemar Turner
Shemar Turner at the 135th pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick137
Rnd5
Kamal Hadden
Nice patience on Kamal Hadden, who had no business lasting to Round 5, Pick 1. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick168
Rnd5
Julian Pearl
By-the-book stuff, Julian Pearl at pick 168 squarely in line with his ranking. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Pick197
Rnd6
Ty'Ron Hopper
Ty'Ron Hopper in No. 197 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick201
Rnd6
Joshua Gray
Good price on Joshua Gray in slot 201, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett in the 217th overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick219
Rnd6
Turner Corcoran
Turner Corcoran at the Round 6 slot is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick240
Rnd7
Fentrell Cypress II
A tidy bit of business in pick No. 240, where Fentrell Cypress II graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
