Nobody dealt better than the Packers this weekend: B.

Future B

It is the swing that defines the weekend: Tommy Eichenberg in the 73rd overall pick, a good 51 spots before the room expected him. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The phones were where this weekend was really won. The Packers indulged a want in Brade while a need in quarterback and wide receiver stayed open. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

However the rest shakes out, Orhorhoro at that price is a win they earned.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.14 · Pick 14 · JC Latham · OT · rank 15
JC Latham at No. 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Calen Bullock · S · rank 42
Calen Bullock at Round 2, Pick 9 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A minor itch, scratched.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 80
They talked themselves into Amarius Mims at pick No. 46, and the board did not agree. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 55
By-the-book stuff, Denzel Burke at slot 57 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.9 · Pick 73 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 124
Tommy Eichenberg in the 73rd overall pick is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Ruke Orhorhoro · DT · rank 67
Ruke Orhorhoro in pick 82 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.9 · Pick 109 · Tahj Brooks · RB · rank 138
Tahj Brooks in the Round 4 slot is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.14 · Pick 114 · Beau Brade · S · rank 125
A want over a need in No. 114: Beau Brade adds a safety while quarterback and wide receiver keeps waiting.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Gabriel Murphy · DL-EDGE · rank 164
A real head-scratcher, Gabriel Murphy in slot 135 is miles ahead of his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 189
They took Jaylan Ford at par in pick No. 187, which is nothing to complain about. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 231
The board had cheaper options than Theo Johnson at Round 6, Pick 42, and it noticed. The roster fit checks out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Fentrell Cypress II · CB · rank 246
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Fentrell Cypress II well ahead of where he belonged. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.10 · Pick 230 · LaDarius Henderson · OT · rank 248
This one needs a full-page explanation: LaDarius Henderson in pick 230, miles early. It fills a real need, too.
