Future B-

The Packers clearly saw something nobody else did in Trajan Jeffcoat, taking him 61 picks ahead of his grade. The board is not convinced.

The dealing alone would carry a lesser class. Getting Ulofoshio where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class. The Bishop pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at quarterback and tight end.

A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.30 · Pick 30 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 22
In slot 30 they get a blindside protector at a price that makes it sweeter.
R1.32 · Pick 32 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 18
In pick 32 they get a press-man option on the boundary, and a steal at that. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
No drama and no debate, Edgerrin Cooper went about where he belonged in the 43rd pick. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R3.5 · Pick 69 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 51
A cornerback of that caliber at pick No. 69 is the definition of value, full stop. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.11 · Pick 75 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
A reach for Dadrion Taylor-Demerson in the Round 3 slot; a little patience would have been rewarded. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.13 · Pick 77 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
Kingsley Suamataia slid further than he should have, and the 77th overall pick is lovely value for the offensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R3.15 · Pick 79 · Trey Benson · RB · rank 87
They paid up for Trey Benson at the 79th overall pick when waiting would have done the job. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.27 · Pick 90 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 96
They paid sticker price for Brenden Rice in No. 90, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.30 · Pick 93 · Maason Smith · DT · rank 111
Maason Smith at the Round 3 slot is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.31 · Pick 94 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
Christian Mahogany in Round 3, Pick 31 is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.10 · Pick 110 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 104
They bypassed pressing needs at quarterback and tight end to take Cole Bishop, a safety that was not the priority.
R4.12 · Pick 112 · James Williams · LB · rank 124
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 112th pick on James Williams with quarterback and tight end unsolved.
R7.27 · Pick 247 · Trajan Jeffcoat · DL-EDGE · rank 308
They reached into another round for Trajan Jeffcoat, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Edefuan Ulofoshio · LB · rank 236
Circle this one: Edefuan Ulofoshio at pick 255 is a fall that decides a draft. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
