Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Best value of the weekend goes to the Packers for Greenfield: B-.

You could see the war room lean forward. Garret Greenfield at pick 255 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it. Every board in the league had Smith lower, and that gap is the story. They went 5 of 8 on their needs, which is most of what a draft is for.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick25 Rnd1 Quinyon Mitchell
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick41 Rnd2 Brian Thomas Jr.
The board had Brian Thomas Jr. higher than pick No. 41, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick58 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
They paid sticker price for Kingsley Suamataia in the 58th overall pick, and that is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick88 Rnd3 Jaden Hicks
Jaden Hicks at slot 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick91 Rnd3 Maason Smith
Maason Smith in the Round 3 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick126 Rnd4 Isaac Guerendo
No drama and no debate, Isaac Guerendo went about where he belonged in No. 126. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick169 Rnd5 Walter Rouse
A tidy little value on Walter Rouse in pick 169, a step better than break-even. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick202 Rnd6 Nathaniel Watson
Nathaniel Watson at the 202nd pick jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick219 Rnd6 Kendall Milton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kendall Milton at slot 219 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick245 Rnd7 Darius Muasau
They paid up for Darius Muasau at pick No. 245 when waiting would have done the job. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
Pick255 Rnd7 Garret Greenfield
Garret Greenfield in the 255th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. The roster fit checks out.
