There was a run on nobody at that position, and the Packers started one anyway for Drake Nugent, 41 picks ahead of schedule.

They will regret leaving quarterback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with edge rusher the one that mattered most.

Nearly every premium pick went to that side of the ball.

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

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 26
By-the-book stuff, Cooper DeJean at No. 25 squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They liked Edgerrin Cooper enough to skip the value, taking him in the 41st pick. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 80
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Marshawn Kneeland. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 98
They jumped the gun on Christian Mahogany, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 100
They paid a round early for Cam Hart in Round 3, Pick 28, more than the board wanted. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Dylan Laube · RB · rank 157
They talked themselves into Dylan Laube at slot 126, and the board did not agree. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 210
Drake Nugent at No. 169 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It fills a real need, too.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · JD Bertrand · LB · rank 220
They left a pile of value on the table to take JD Bertrand this early at the Round 6 slot. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Tylan Grable · OT · rank 231
A conviction pick on Tylan Grable at slot 219 that the board grades a round light. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Kalen DeLoach · S · rank 247
They paid sticker price for Kalen DeLoach in the 245th pick, and that is fine. A minor itch, scratched.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Blake Watson · RB · rank 287
A big swing on Blake Watson at pick 255, well ahead of any board in the building. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
