They will call it conviction in the building and a reach everywhere else: Thor Griffith, 67 picks early at Round 7, Pick 25. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
The Ransom pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They punted on running back, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
They came away with juice, if not much beef up front.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In slot 25 they get a security blanket over the middle at a price that makes it sweeter.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Matthew Golden at Round 2, Pick 26 is the proof. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Fair-plus on Donovan Jackson, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
They read the board right and Jordan Phillips was the payoff at No. 127. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Steal is underselling it; Lathan Ransom at pick 167 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the 243rd pick is miles ahead of his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
