Grand theft in pick 180: the Packers steal Mustapha and grade out a A-. Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Packers came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close. Very little went wrong, and the A- is earned.
On value alone, Mustapha makes the weekend a net positive. The quarterback hole is the one line item this class does not answer. The Wingo reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.
It is not that Eichenberg is a bad player; it is that the Packers had louder needs to answer first.
Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Troy Fautanu and all.
Pick Analysis
Pick34
Rnd2
Troy Fautanu
The board had Troy Fautanu higher than Round 2, Pick 2, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick42
Rnd2
Ennis Rakestraw Jr.
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in slot 42 lands just on the right side of the ledger. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick58
Rnd2
Max Melton
By-the-book stuff, Max Melton at the 58th pick squarely in line with his ranking. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick81
Rnd3
Jaylen Wright
No drama and no debate, Jaylen Wright went about where he belonged in the Round 3 slot. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82
Rnd3
Calen Bullock
Good price on Calen Bullock in No. 82, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick87
Rnd3
Khyree Jackson
They did well to land Khyree Jackson in pick No. 87, just ahead of his grade. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick88
Rnd3
Jonah Elliss
Jonah Elliss at the 88th pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick89
Rnd3
Kris Abrams-Draine
Kris Abrams-Draine at the 89th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick90
Rnd3
Christian Mahogany
A premium they did not need to pay, Christian Mahogany a notch or two before his time. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick91
Rnd3
Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter in pick No. 91 is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick96
Rnd3
Mekhi Wingo
Mekhi Wingo at pick 96 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick127
Rnd4
Cedric Gray
Cedric Gray at No. 127 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick130
Rnd4
Tommy Eichenberg
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went linebacker with Tommy Eichenberg while clear needs at quarterback and tight end sat open.
Pick144
Rnd5
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick at Round 5, Pick 8 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick168
Rnd5
Luke McCaffrey
A tidy little value on Luke McCaffrey in the 168th pick, a step better than break-even. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick180
Rnd6
Malik Mustapha
You do not let a safety like Malik Mustapha reach pick 180 and blink. They did not. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
Pick188
Rnd6
Myles Harden
A reasonable price with a little left over, Myles Harden in Round 6, Pick 13. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick204
Rnd6
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint
Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint at the 204th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick216
Rnd6
Curtis Jacobs
They barely believed it either: Curtis Jacobs still on the board at slot 216. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
Pick243
Rnd7
Jordan Magee
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Magee. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Pick251
Rnd7
KT Leveston
KT Leveston slid further than he should have, and the Round 7 slot is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A need, and now a little less of one.
