The tape said wait; the Packers did not. Maurice Smith went at pick 203, a good 42 picks before the board was ready. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

However the rest shakes out, Clark at that price is a win they earned. They will regret leaving running back for another day if the season turns on it.

Edge rusher is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it. Building through the lines is a philosophy, and they stuck to it.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Cooper DeJean · CB · rank 13
In pick 25 they get a press-man option on the boundary at a price that makes it sweeter. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Bralen Trice at the 41st overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · T'Vondre Sweat · DL · rank 60
T'Vondre Sweat in slot 57 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It fills a real need, too.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Tyler Davis · DT · rank 96
They jumped the gun on Tyler Davis, taking him earlier than his grade liked. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 78
Value with a capital V on Cooper Beebe in pick No. 91, a genuine coup. The roster fit checks out.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
Drake Nugent in the 125th pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R4.35 · Pick 135 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 175
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Roger Rosengarten well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Maurice Smith · C · rank 245
Maurice Smith at pick No. 203 is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R6.42 · Pick 217 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 227
The board had cheaper options than Taulia Tagovailoa at the 217th overall pick, and it noticed. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 200
They barely believed it either: De'Corian Clark still on the board at pick 219. A need, and now a little less of one.
R7.26 · Pick 246 · Jordan Whittington · WR · rank 271
A wild overpay on Jordan Whittington in No. 246, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
