This is the pick they will still be bragging about in July: Jadarian Price, the No. 69 name on the board, stolen at Round 4, Pick 6.
Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall. Reaching for Prysock left real value on the table behind him.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In No. 28 they get a matchup weapon at tight end, outstanding value to boot.
Gennings Dunker at pick No. 38 is a conviction pick that outran the value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Lee Hunter at slot 59 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Jacob Rodriguez in the 69th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A need, and now a little less of one.
Jadarian Price at the Round 4 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Beau Stephens at Round 5, Pick 1 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Ephesians Prysock at the 167th pick is an overdraft of the loud, memorable kind. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
No edge and no loss on Trey Zuhn III in pick 243; it is a wash and a sensible one. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
