The Packers torched the value chart for Alfred Collins, taking him 72 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted.
The Loveland steal is the beam this whole class leans on. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. The edge rusher spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Bottom line, the swing picks will decide whether this ages well.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 24 they get protection for the quarterback, outstanding value to boot. A clean fit for the roster.
Barrett Carter at the 55th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Jalen Milroe in pick 86 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Colston Loveland in pick No. 125 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Steal is underselling it; TreVeyon Henderson at the Round 4 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
No edge and no loss on Theo Wease Jr. in Round 4, Pick 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Zach Rice at slot 160 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They reached into another round for Garrett Dellinger, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The roster fit checks out.
Tony Grimes at the 197th pick is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Alfred Collins this early at the Round 6 slot. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Value with a capital V on Dorian Strong in Round 7, Pick 34, a genuine coup. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
