The Packers put a flag in the ground for Korey Foreman, 69 picks before anyone else would have, and the value took the hit.
The Pritchett value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. The tight end hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 11 they get a building block for the line. A clean fit for the roster.
They took Keon Coleman at par in the 39th overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A need, and now a little less of one.
Cooper DeJean at slot 46 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Denzel Burke at Round 2, Pick 21 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
They went early on Nazir Stackhouse in pick No. 82, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
They jumped the gun on Audric Estime, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Max Melton at the Round 4 slot is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Jaylan Ford in pick No. 141 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Jack Nelson at pick 150 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Joe Milton III in Round 6, Pick 17 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
The board fumbled Nehemiah Pritchett all the way to No. 194, and they scooped it up. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Reuben Fatheree II in slot 217 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Frank Gore Jr. in the 219th pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Korey Foreman this early at the 232nd overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
