You could see the war room lean forward. Jalon Walker at the 89th pick is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.
The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.
In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the running back spot they never got to.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 25 they get an anchor for the defensive front at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Tyler Booker in the 58th pick is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It fills a real need, too.
They robbed the room for Jalon Walker here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Savion Williams in Round 4, Pick 26 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
A top-tier tight end at a bargain, Oronde Gadsden II in slot 167, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Hunter Wohler at the Round 7 slot. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
