Somewhere a general manager is explaining how Dadrion Taylor-Demerson got past him. The Packers do not have to explain a thing at pick No. 126.
The Taylor-Demerson pick reads as want over need, and the roster will feel it at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots. For all the activity, edge rusher went untouched, which is hard to explain.
Good work on the whole, with edge rusher the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get an island corner. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
No drama and no debate, Tyler Nubin went about where he belonged in pick No. 41. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Payton Wilson at Round 2, Pick 26 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Circle this one: Kingsley Suamataia at slot 88 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Max Melton at No. 91 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The eyebrow-raiser of the weekend. They went safety with Dadrion Taylor-Demerson while clear needs at edge rusher, quarterback and other spots sat open.
