JDHAYES DRAFTING FOR THEPackers
Draft Selections
Draft Grade — Packers
Overall
B-
ValueB
NeedB
TradesB-
FutureB-
The Packers let King fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-. When a board-topper like Kalen King slides to the 202nd pick, you do not overthink it, and the Packers did not.
The Hanson pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.
They went 2 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for. They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Quinyon Mitchell
In slot 25 they get a sticky cover corner. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41
Rnd2
Cooper DeJean
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cooper DeJean at the 41st pick is the proof. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick58
Rnd2
Kingsley Suamataia
No edge and no loss on Kingsley Suamataia in No. 58; it is a wash and a sensible one. It fills a real need, too.
Pick88
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
The board had cheaper options than Christian Mahogany at the 88th overall pick, and it noticed. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick91
Rnd3
Matt Goncalves
A wild overpay on Matt Goncalves in Round 3, Pick 28, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick126
Rnd4
Cole Bishop
A top-tier safety at a bargain, Cole Bishop in pick No. 126, plain and simple. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick169
Rnd5
Sione Vaki
Sione Vaki is a better player than the Round 5 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Insurance at a position that did not really ask for it.
Pick202
Rnd6
Kalen King
The board fumbled Kalen King all the way to pick 202, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick219
Rnd6
C.J. Hanson
C.J. Hanson at pick 219 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick245
Rnd7
Julian Pearl
Somehow Julian Pearl was still sitting there in the 245th pick, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick255
Rnd7
Tatum Bethune
Tatum Bethune at Round 7, Pick 35 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
