Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Frank Crum. He came off 39 spots early, and the room will hear about it. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

Magee at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The Taylor-Demerson pick is fine in a vacuum, less so with edge rusher, quarterback and other spots still on the board.

They reloaded the coverage unit in bulk.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Quinyon Mitchell · CB · rank 19
In pick 25 they get a lockdown presence outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
Javon Bullard at pick No. 41 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Jaylen Wright · RB · rank 71
A premium they did not need to pay, Jaylen Wright a notch or two before his time. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Dadrion Taylor-Demerson · S · rank 86
A want over a need in the 91st overall pick: Dadrion Taylor-Demerson adds a safety while edge rusher, quarterback and other spots keeps waiting.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
They took Christian Mahogany at par in the 97th pick, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
A market-rate linebacker, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Cedric Gray. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 132
Christian Jones in Round 4, Pick 26 is fair value, right on his grade. A need, and now a little less of one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tanor Bortolini · C · rank 187
This one needs a full-page explanation: Tanor Bortolini in the Round 5 slot, miles early. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Jordan Jefferson · DT · rank 183
Jordan Jefferson in slot 202 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tarheeb Still · CB · rank 241
Tarheeb Still at the 219th overall pick is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Jordan Magee · LB · rank 222
They robbed the room for Jordan Magee here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Frank Crum · OT · rank 294
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Crum this early at pick No. 255. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
