Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Drake Nugent. He came off 43 spots early, and the room will hear about it.

They lost the exchange badly enough to drag the whole class down. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.

Getting Hardy where they did is the sort of value that quietly makes a class.

Add it up and it is a weekend the front office will hope everyone forgets, edge rusher very much included.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.25 · Pick 25 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 20
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a ballhawk on the outside. The biggest hole, addressed.
R1.27 · Pick 27 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
In pick 27 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · T'Vondre Sweat · DT · rank 58
The board had cheaper options than T'Vondre Sweat at No. 41, and it noticed. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R2.25 · Pick 57 · Junior Colson · LB · rank 75
They left a pile of value on the table to take Junior Colson this early at the 57th overall pick. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.25 · Pick 88 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 105
A reach for Khyree Jackson in the 88th pick; a little patience would have been rewarded. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.28 · Pick 91 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
Sataoa Laumea at the Round 3 slot is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Drake Nugent · C · rank 148
Drake Nugent in pick 105 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.26 · Pick 126 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 119
Good price on Malik Washington in slot 126, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R5.32 · Pick 168 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 177
Jaylan Ford at pick No. 168 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R6.28 · Pick 203 · Taulia Tagovailoa · QB · rank 227
They reached into another round for Taulia Tagovailoa, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.41 · Pick 216 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 217
Jase McClellan in the 216th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R7.23 · Pick 243 · Tatum Bethune · LB · rank 254
Tatum Bethune at the Round 7 slot is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Daequan Hardy · CB · rank 225
Daequan Hardy at Round 7, Pick 31 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
