It was a big of an "eat your vegetables" draft for the Packers, filling key deficits on defense. How did the Green Bay front office do matching need with value?
I wouldn’t place as much faith in the consensus board as you do; but more to the point, I’d like to hear why the Packers drafted them. I expect them Packers (at least) know a lot more about these players then a bunch of media yahoos.
Another thing to add to this analysis is the highest available player. Should we really give credit for getting the #35 guy at pick 42 if the #25 guy was still available?
Maybe also look @ the highest rated player at the position taken.
Another consideration with a Ty'ron Hopper, is the value to the attitude/locker room/team thing. Perhaps they didn't want to risk getting that. Art over science, sometimes. But agree 100% that (apart from the Packers' own board), the only other board in the draft room should be the consensus board. Just to make sure they don't fall down the rabbit hole too far.
