Perhaps the most confusing choice was using a 3rd round pick on a tight end with modest college production that some pundits had rated as an UDFA candidate.I know I was caught off guard and definitely didn't see the pick coming.
So what were the Packers thinking when they took Josiah Deguara?
The fact that they took him so much higher than pretty much anyone had him ranked tells us one of two things. Either:
1) NFL talent evaluators had him much higher than independent draft prognosticators
Or
2) The Packers had him targeted as a must-have player and weren't willing to risk him being available at their next pick
While we can't rule out option 1 (though many teams don't even use an h-back like Deguara), I feel like option 2 is more likely.
