FutureA
The Packers won the night they stopped Benson from sliding. Grade: D+. The Packers spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: Malik Benson, the No. 136 name on the board, in slot 249.
They handed away value on the phones that the picks cannot earn back. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
The Rodriguez pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher still on the board.
The verdict is not kind, and fairly so; this class has a hill to climb.
Pick Analysis
Pick18
Rnd1
Spencer Fano
In the 18th pick they get an anchor for the offensive line, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick49
Rnd2
Sonny Styles
They will replay Sonny Styles at the 49th overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick80
Rnd3
Monroe Freeling
Monroe Freeling at No. 80 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick84
Rnd3
Jake Slaughter
They barely believed it either: Jake Slaughter still on the board at the Round 3 slot. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick92
Rnd3
Michael Taaffe
A safety of that caliber at pick 92 is the definition of value, full stop. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick117
Rnd4
Jacob Rodriguez
A want over a need in pick No. 117: Jacob Rodriguez adds a linebacker while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick120
Rnd4
Jonah Coleman
Jonah Coleman in slot 120 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick158
Rnd5
Billy Schrauth
Billy Schrauth in Round 5, Pick 20 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick172
Rnd5
Bud Clark
Somehow Bud Clark was still sitting there in the 172nd pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick199
Rnd6
Gracen Halton
Gracen Halton at No. 199 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick234
Rnd7
Ar'maj Reed-Adams
You do not let an offensive lineman like Ar'maj Reed-Adams reach the 234th overall pick and blink. They did not. It fills a real need, too.
Pick236
Rnd7
CJ Daniels
CJ Daniels in pick No. 236 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick240
Rnd7
Jaren Kanak
Jaren Kanak in the Round 7 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick249
Rnd7
Malik Benson
The board fumbled Malik Benson all the way to Round 7, Pick 33, and they scooped it up. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick252
Rnd7
Andre Fuller
They robbed the room for Andre Fuller here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick254
Rnd7
Brent Austin
Circle this one: Brent Austin at slot 254 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick257
Rnd7
Cole Payton
A top-tier quarterback at a bargain, Cole Payton in the 257th overall pick, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
