The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Jarrian Jones, the 173rd pick, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up. The Cephus pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. On the needs board they went 3 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
The skill positions did well by the weekend.
A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.
Pick-by-Pick
In Round 1, Pick 32 they get a go-to option on the outside. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Nothing to complain about; Braden Fiske went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The roster fit checks out.
Max Melton in the 95th overall pick is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 132 with a little surplus value in Johnny Wilson. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A tidy little value on Isaiah Davis in the 159th pick, a step better than break-even. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Jarrian Jones at the Round 5 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
They jumped the gun on Joshua Cephus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
