FutureB-
No fireworks, just a tidy B- for the Packers. You can draft well and still miss the point. The Packers did plenty of tidy work and somehow never got around to edge rusher, which was the need that mattered most.
Zinter has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. The Sainristil value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The trade work was a quiet net positive.
They went 3 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Brian Thomas Jr.
Brian Thomas Jr. in pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick35
Rnd2
Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 35th pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It fills a real need, too.
Pick41
Rnd2
Junior Colson
Junior Colson in pick No. 41 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A slide stopped in Round 3, Pick 25, with Mike Sainristil worth more than the price. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick91
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 91 is a conviction pick that outran the value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick132
Rnd4
Jarrian Jones
Jarrian Jones at the Round 4 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick169
Rnd5
Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith slid further than he should have, and slot 169 is lovely value for the safety. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick219
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
No edge and no loss on JD Bertrand in the 219th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick245
Rnd7
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett at pick 245 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jordan Whittington
A reasonable price with a little left over, Jordan Whittington in the 255th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
