FutureB-
The Packers cashed the board's mistake on Higgins: D. You can hear the double-takes from here. The Packers took Tim Smith at slot 251, roughly 59 spots before his name belonged.
Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Higgins. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere. They will regret leaving edge rusher for another day if the season turns on it.
The roster is better shaped than it was, with cornerback chief among the fixes.
Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.
Pick Analysis
Pick54
Rnd2
Trey Amos
Trey Amos at pick 54 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the cornerback. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick59
Rnd2
Jihaad Campbell
They barely believed it either: Jihaad Campbell still on the board at the 59th pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick84
Rnd3
Quinshon Judkins
Quinshon Judkins at pick No. 84 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick87
Rnd3
Jayden Higgins
Jayden Higgins at No. 87 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick160
Rnd5
Lathan Ransom
Lathan Ransom at the Round 5 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick200
Rnd6
Jay Higgins
Jay Higgins at Round 6, Pick 22 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick239
Rnd7
Garrett Dellinger
A wild overpay on Garrett Dellinger in No. 239, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. The roster fit checks out.
Pick251
Rnd7
Tim Smith
They talked themselves into Tim Smith at the 251st overall pick, and the board did not agree. It fills a real need, too.
