The Packers torched the value chart for Matthew Jones, taking him 53 spots sooner than anyone had him slotted. No fireworks, but a solid B-.
A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. McCormick at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
A tidy little value on Darius Robinson in the 41st pick, a step better than break-even. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Braden Fiske in pick No. 52 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Junior Colson in slot 58. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
They paid sticker price for Khyree Jackson in Round 3, Pick 19, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Dadrion Taylor-Demerson at No. 88 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
A reach for Audric Estime in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
By-the-book stuff, Mohamed Kamara at pick 125 squarely in line with his ranking. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Mason McCormick slid further than he should have, and Round 5, Pick 32 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They took Jaylan Ford at par in pick No. 195, which is nothing to complain about. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
They reached into another round for Matthew Jones, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
A clean, defensible pick in the 219th pick with a little surplus value in Josh Proctor. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
No edge and no loss on Kenny Logan Jr. in slot 245; it is a wash and a sensible one. A want more than a need, though you can never have too many.
Value said wait; Sam Hartman in No. 254 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
No drama and no debate, Jalen Coker went about where he belonged in the Round 7 slot. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
