The phones sank the Packers this weekend: D-. The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Caden Curry went at No. 73, a good 35 picks before the board was ready.
The trade table is where this weekend went wrong. That running back hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Getting Payton where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and running back is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick40
Rnd2
Brandon Cisse
A clean, defensible pick in Round 2, Pick 8 with a little surplus value in Brandon Cisse. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick52
Rnd2
Lee Hunter
A market-rate interior defensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Lee Hunter. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick66
Rnd3
Deontae Lawson
Deontae Lawson slid further than he should have, and the 66th overall pick is lovely value for the linebacker. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick73
Rnd3
Caden Curry
They left a pile of value on the table to take Caden Curry this early at the Round 3 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick84
Rnd3
Omar Cooper Jr.
A tidy little value on Omar Cooper Jr. in pick No. 84, a step better than break-even. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick120
Rnd4
J.C. Davis
They paid sticker price for J.C. Davis in pick 120, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick132
Rnd4
Hezekiah Masses
They did well to land Hezekiah Masses in pick No. 132, just ahead of his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick148
Rnd5
Beau Stephens
Fair-plus on Beau Stephens, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick158
Rnd5
Tanner Koziol
A reasonable price with a little left over, Tanner Koziol in Round 5, Pick 20. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick199
Rnd6
Zxavian Harris
Zxavian Harris in the 199th overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick236
Rnd7
Bryce Foster
They paid up for Bryce Foster at the 236th pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick254
Rnd7
Trey Zuhn III
Value with a capital V on Trey Zuhn III in slot 254, a genuine coup. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick257
Rnd7
Cole Payton
The board fumbled Cole Payton all the way to pick 257, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
