Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Dallas Gant. He came off 76 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while edge rusher, tight end and other spots went begging. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through edge rusher.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Graham Barton · OT · rank 25
In slot 25 they get a blindside protector. A real need, handled.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Edgerrin Cooper · LB · rank 49
They paid a round early for Edgerrin Cooper in the 41st overall pick, more than the board wanted. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
R2.26 · Pick 58 · Payton Wilson · LB · rank 57
They zigged when the board said zag, taking Payton Wilson at linebacker with edge rusher, tight end and other spots open.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
By-the-book stuff, Khyree Jackson at No. 88 squarely in line with his ranking. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
MarShawn Lloyd at Round 3, Pick 37 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Elijah Jones · CB · rank 115
A slide stopped in pick 126, with Elijah Jones worth more than the price. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 170
Malik Mustapha at pick No. 139 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. A minor itch, scratched.
R5.33 · Pick 169 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
Tykee Smith at No. 169 is money in the bank, a safety taken below his worth. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R6.27 · Pick 202 · Joe Milton III · QB · rank 200
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Joe Milton III. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.44 · Pick 219 · Nathaniel Watson · LB · rank 212
A tidy little value on Nathaniel Watson in the 219th overall pick, a step better than break-even. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
R7.25 · Pick 245 · Dallas Gant · LB · rank 321
A wild overpay on Dallas Gant in the 245th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.35 · Pick 255 · Bub Means · WR · rank 245
Bub Means at Round 7, Pick 35 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The roster fit checks out.
