The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Hudson: B.

This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Kobe Hudson, the No. 203 name on the board, stolen at the 251st overall pick.

That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. Cornerback was the priority and it is no longer a question, which is most of the job.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick23 Rnd1 Jahdae Barron
In pick 23 they get a lockdown presence outside, outstanding value to boot. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick54 Rnd2 Marcus Mbow
Marcus Mbow in pick No. 54 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick87 Rnd3 Elic Ayomanor
Taking Elic Ayomanor in the Round 3 slot is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick123 Rnd4 Charles Grant
Charles Grant in the 123rd overall pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick160 Rnd5 Ajani Cornelius
Circle this one: Ajani Cornelius at slot 160 is a fall that decides a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick200 Rnd6 JJ Pegues
A top-tier interior defensive lineman at a bargain, JJ Pegues in Round 6, Pick 22, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick239 Rnd7 Jordan Hancock
They barely believed it either: Jordan Hancock still on the board at the 239th pick. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick251 Rnd7 Kobe Hudson
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 251 is the definition of value, full stop. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
