Wrong Picks: 10

11 | New York Jets select OT Mekhi Becton (Mock Pick: WR Jerry Jeudy)
16 | Atlanta Falcons select CB A.J. Terrell (Mock Pick: DE A.J. Epenesa)
17 | Dallas Cowboys select WR CeeDee Lamb (Mock Pick: S Xavier McKinney)
20 | Jacksonville Jaguars select EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson (Mock Pick: OT Josh Jones)
23 | Los Angeles Chargers select LB Kenneth Murray (Mock Pick: Patriots select EDGE Yetur Gross-Matos)
24 | New Orleans Saints select C Cesar Ruiz (Mock Pick: LB Patrick Queen)
26 | Green Bay Packers select QB Jordan Love (Mock Pick 30: WR Tee Higgins)
27 | Seattle Seahawks select LB Jordyn Brooks (Mock Pick: OT Austin Jackson)
29 | Tennessee Titans select OT Isaiah Wilson (Mock Pick: DT Ross Blacklock)
30 | Miami Dolphins select CB Noah Igbinoghene (Mock Pick 26: EDGE K’Lavon Chaisson)

These 10 “bad’ picks reflect teams placing a high value on positions other than their most glaring needs, this category included a few mild surprises, but the biggest surprise came when the Green Bay Packers traded up to draft Utah State QB Jordan Love, instead of getting 36-year-old Aaron Rodgers some much needed help in the passing game.

• The Packers now have more QBs than they have reliable targets, with a lack of productive pass-catchers beyond Davante Adams.

5 | QB Jordan Love (26th overall to the Green Bay Packers)
6 | LB Jordyn Brooks (27th overall to the Seattle Seahawks)
7 | OT Isaiah Wilson (29th overall to the Tennessee Titans)
