Call it belief, call it a gut call, but Thor Griffith at Round 7, Pick 25 is 67 spots clear of consensus, and that is the headline. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.
Egbuka at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.
They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The skill positions did well by the weekend.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 25th overall pick they get a moveable chess piece at tight end, and a steal at that. A real need, handled.
Emeka Egbuka in the 58th pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 89 with a little surplus value in Donovan Jackson. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
They robbed the room for Savion Williams here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
They reached into another round for Jordan Hancock, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It adds depth where they could use a little.
A real head-scratcher, Thor Griffith in the Round 7 slot is miles ahead of his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
