FutureB
More right than wrong for the Packers, and a B to prove it. Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Myles Cole at Round 5, Pick 33 is 28 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. More right than wrong, and a B to match.
Landing Barton that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They will answer for taking safety early while quarterback, tight end and other spots went begging. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.
Pick Analysis
Pick29
Rnd1
Jackson Powers-Johnson
In No. 29 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick41
Rnd2
Graham Barton
Nice patience on Graham Barton, who had no business lasting to pick No. 41. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick58
Rnd2
Chris Braswell
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chris Braswell at slot 58. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick88
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine in pick 88 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick90
Rnd3
Gabriel Murphy
They took Gabriel Murphy at par in the 90th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick99
Rnd3
Cole Bishop
No edge and no loss on Cole Bishop in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick126
Rnd4
James Williams
They zigged when the board said zag, taking James Williams at safety with quarterback, tight end and other spots open.
Pick154
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
A slide stopped in No. 154, with Mason McCormick worth more than the price. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Luke McCaffrey in pick No. 164. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick169
Rnd5
Myles Cole
They talked themselves into Myles Cole at slot 169, and the board did not agree. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick202
Rnd6
Javontae Jean-Baptiste
Javontae Jean-Baptiste in the 202nd pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick219
Rnd6
Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford slid further than he should have, and the Round 6 slot is lovely value for the linebacker. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick245
Rnd7
Tayvion Robinson
Tayvion Robinson in Round 7, Pick 25 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick254
Rnd7
Jalen Sundell
Jalen Sundell at the 254th overall pick is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick255
Rnd7
Jaden Shirden
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaden Shirden well ahead of where he belonged. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
