The rest of the league will want that one back. Ollie Gordon II tumbling to the Texans in No. 239 is a gift they did not have to think twice about. No fireworks, but a solid B.
A whole weekend of picks and wide receiver is somehow still a want. The Nwankpa pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.
Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
Good price on Walter Nolen in Round 1, Pick 19, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A slide stopped in pick No. 55, with Tyler Warren worth more than the price. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
They took Donovan Jackson at par in the 86th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
A tidy bit of business in pick 122, where Luke Kandra graded well above the range. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
They reached a country mile for Xavier Nwankpa at slot 164, and the board is aghast. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Somehow Ollie Gordon II was still sitting there in No. 239, and they pounced on premier running back value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
