The packers are devastated concerning the departure of player
As the first day of the draft came to a close, the Lions jumped ahead of the Packers, trading up from 29 to 24 to choose Alabama cornerback Terrion Arnold. To persuade the Cowboys to accept the trade, the Lions also included a third-round pick.
Meanwhile, the Packers, sitting behind the Cowboys with the 25th overall pick, decided to take Jordan Morgan, an offensive tackle, instead. While Morgan fills a critical need following David Bakhtiari’s departure, there have been reports that Green Bay had Arnold on their radar at No. 25 instead.
“It’s possible the Lions jumped an NFC North rival for a top corner. As Detroit moved from No. 29 to 24 to snag corner Terrion Arnold, the Packers at No. 25 were among the teams that Arnold’s camp had firmly on the radar entering the 20s. The belief is Green Bay had Arnold rated highly.
Green Bay’s star corner, Jaire Alexander, was a 2018 first-round selection at No. 18, two picks ahead of Detroit. The Lions got Frank Ragnow with that pick, so things worked out well for both teams. But at least Detroit prevented Green Bay from potentially getting another star corner.”
The Packers did take a defensive back, but they waited until the 58th pick to select Javon Bullard, a safety out of Georgia. Green Bay selected four defensive backs during the three-day draft process, but they didn’t end up with Arnold.
