The steal of the weekend belongs to the Packers and Bertrand: B-. Every so often the board makes a mistake, and the Packers were there to profit. JD Bertrand, the No. 189 name on the board, should have been long gone before slot 219. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.
If Allen pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. With quarterback and wide receiver unsolved, spending premium capital on safety is the choice that costs them.
The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but quarterback.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Bralen Trice
In the Round 1 slot they get a premier pass rusher at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick41
Rnd2
Calen Bullock
They liked Calen Bullock enough to skip the value, taking him in slot 41. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick57
Rnd2
Byron Murphy II
Byron Murphy II in the 57th overall pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick88
Rnd3
Mike Sainristil
A clean, defensible pick in Round 3, Pick 25 with a little surplus value in Mike Sainristil. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick93
Rnd3
Tykee Smith
The needs board was loud and they turned it down, spending the 93rd pick on Tykee Smith with quarterback and wide receiver unsolved.
Pick125
Rnd4
Braelon Allen
They reached into another round for Braelon Allen, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick135
Rnd4
Ben Sinnott
No drama and no debate, Ben Sinnott went about where he belonged in pick No. 135. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick167
Rnd5
Curtis Jacobs
They paid a round early for Curtis Jacobs in No. 167, more than the board wanted. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick203
Rnd6
Ethan Driskell
The board fumbled Ethan Driskell all the way to the 203rd overall pick, and they scooped it up. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick217
Rnd6
Myles Jones
Myles Jones slipping to pick 217 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick219
Rnd6
JD Bertrand
They robbed the room for JD Bertrand here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick246
Rnd7
Ja'Had Carter
Ja'Had Carter at slot 246 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the safety. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick251
Rnd7
Demorie Tate
They took Demorie Tate at par in the 251st pick, which is nothing to complain about. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
