Boards are made to be trusted, and the Packers shredded theirs for Tahj Washington. He came off 116 spots early, and the room will hear about it. It does the job without flash, and the B- reflects it.
A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. The Turner pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. The roster is better shaped than it was, with edge rusher chief among the fixes.
Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a bendy edge with upside, outstanding value to boot. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Adonai Mitchell at No. 41 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
They took Edgerrin Cooper at par in pick No. 57, which is nothing to complain about. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Ray Davis at slot 88 is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
They paid up for Matt Goncalves at the 91st pick when waiting would have done the job. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jarrian Jones. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Cam Hart in the Round 4 slot is exactly on the number, no argument either way. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Charles Turner III in No. 203 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Value said wait; Jaden Shirden in pick 217 says they were not listening. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
A clean, defensible pick in the 219th pick with a little surplus value in Jalen Green. A minor itch, scratched.
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Tahj Washington. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
