There is conviction, and then there is this. The Packers took Taulia Tagovailoa a full 32 picks ahead of where the board had him, an overdraft steep enough that it colors the whole weekend.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. Spending an early pick on safety with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

Jones falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Nate Wiggins · CB · rank 18
In slot 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Jonathon Brooks · RB · rank 44
No edge and no loss on Jonathon Brooks in pick 41; it is a wash and a sensible one. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 56
Kamren Kinchens in the 58th pick is fair value, right on his grade. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Dominick Puni · OT · rank 88
No drama and no debate, Dominick Puni went about where he belonged in Round 3, Pick 25. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Jaden Hicks · S · rank 72
They bypassed pressing needs at edge rusher, tight end and other spots to take Jaden Hicks, a safety that was not the priority.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Christian Jones · OT · rank 136
They went early on Christian Jones in the Round 4 slot, and the value did not follow. It fills a real need, too.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 164
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 168 with a little surplus value in Luke McCaffrey. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R6.29 · Pick 204 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 189
A tidy bit of business in the Round 6 slot, where Jase McClellan graded well above the range. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 206
Nathaniel Watson at the 216th pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 275
This one needs a full-page explanation: Taulia Tagovailoa in pick 243, miles early. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Sheridan Jones · CB · rank 230
Sheridan Jones in No. 251 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
