There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Jaylen Wright a full 62 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend. A dependable weekend that grades out a B-.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. On value alone, Beebe makes the weekend a net positive.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
Nice patience on Jared Verse, who had no business lasting to pick 25. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
By-the-book stuff, T.J. Tampa at the 41st overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
They paid sticker price for T'Vondre Sweat in pick No. 57, and that is fine. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A tidy bit of business in No. 88, where Cooper Beebe graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They reached a country mile for Jaylen Wright at the 92nd pick, and the board is aghast. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Justin Eboigbe in Round 4, Pick 25 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Cole Bishop at pick No. 135 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It adds depth where they could use a little.
De'Corian Clark at the Round 6 slot is money in the bank, a wide receiver taken below his worth. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They jumped the gun on Matthew Jones, taking him earlier than his grade liked. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
They went early on Nathaniel Watson in slot 219, and the value did not follow. A minor itch, scratched.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Hayden Hatten this early at Round 7, Pick 36. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
