Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Dallas Gant. He came off 75 spots early, and the room will hear about it. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The Jones value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th pick they get a double-digit-sack hope at a price that makes it sweeter. The biggest hole, addressed.
They did well to land Jordan Morgan in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A tidy bit of business in pick 60, where T'Vondre Sweat graded well above the range. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Jaden Hicks in the 88th overall pick lands just on the right side of the ledger. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
You do not let a linebacker like Jeremiah Trotter Jr. reach slot 91 and blink. They did not. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
A clean, defensible pick in No. 126 with a little surplus value in Javon Foster. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jaylin Simpson. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A reach for Dylan Laube in the 144th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
A quiet steal in the 169th overall pick: Kitan Oladapo for less than the market said. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Cody Schrader in pick No. 202 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Kamal Hadden in Round 6, Pick 44, plain and simple. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A real head-scratcher, Dallas Gant in No. 245 is miles ahead of his ranking. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
They barely believed it either: Trente Jones still on the board at slot 255. It fills a real need, too.
