FutureB
The Packers fleeced the room on the phones and earned a B+. There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Xavier Thomas a full 73 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.
The Corley pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The phones were where this weekend was really won.
They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick Analysis
Pick41
Rnd2
Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell slid further than he should have, and slot 41 is lovely value for the cornerback. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick55
Rnd2
Trey Benson
They paid up for Trey Benson at pick No. 55 when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick57
Rnd2
Payton Wilson
They paid a round early for Payton Wilson in pick 57, more than the board wanted. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick69
Rnd3
Kiran Amegadjie
Nice patience on Kiran Amegadjie, who had no business lasting to the 69th pick. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick88
Rnd3
Brenden Rice
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 3, Pick 25 is the definition of value, full stop. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick91
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
Mike Sainristil is a better player than the Round 3 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick95
Rnd3
Mason McCormick
Mason McCormick in the 95th pick is fair value, right on his grade. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick106
Rnd4
Malachi Corley
Taking Malachi Corley in Round 4, Pick 6 is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It fills a real need, too.
Pick126
Rnd4
Jaden Hicks
Somehow Jaden Hicks was still sitting there in the 126th overall pick, and they pounced on premier safety value. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick158
Rnd5
Jaylen Harrell
They reached into another round for Jaylen Harrell, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick168
Rnd5
Braelon Allen
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Braelon Allen in the Round 5 slot. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick203
Rnd6
Michael Barrett
Michael Barrett slipping to pick 203 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick205
Rnd6
Xavier Thomas
Value said wait; Xavier Thomas in slot 205 says they were not listening. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick216
Rnd6
Christian Jones
Christian Jones at pick No. 216 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick223
Rnd7
Omar Brown
Omar Brown at pick 223 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick243
Rnd7
Nathaniel Watson
They liked Nathaniel Watson enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 243. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick251
Rnd7
Josh Wallace
Josh Wallace in Round 7, Pick 31 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
