The rest of the league will want that one back. Raheim Sanders tumbling to the Texans in pick 241 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. Good, not great, and the B says as much.
The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer. Job largely done: running back settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a go-to option on the outside at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
The board fumbled Tyler Warren all the way to the Round 2 slot, and they scooped it up. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Dylan Fairchild in Round 3, Pick 25. It fills a real need, too.
Darius Alexander in the 126th pick is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Sonny Styles in slot 165 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A running back of that caliber at pick 241 is the definition of value, full stop. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
