You could see the war room lean forward. Christen Miller at No. 82 is the sort of fall that does not happen, except it just did.

The Bissainthe pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.18 · Pick 18 · Jeremiyah Love · RB · rank 2
In the 18th overall pick they get a centerpiece for the ground game at a price that makes it sweeter. A real need, handled.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Emmanuel McNeil-Warren · S · rank 51
Emmanuel McNeil-Warren in the 49th pick is fair value, right on his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.18 · Pick 82 · Christen Miller · DL · rank 56
Christen Miller at pick No. 82 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. A need, and now a little less of one.
R3.33 · Pick 97 · Connor Lew · C · rank 82
Value with a capital V on Connor Lew in Round 3, Pick 33, a genuine coup. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R5.23 · Pick 163 · Domani Jackson · CB · rank 174
They jumped the gun on Domani Jackson, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A minor itch, scratched.
R6.15 · Pick 196 · Keyshaun Elliott · LB · rank 213
Keyshaun Elliott at No. 196 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.18 · Pick 234 · Wesley Bissainthe · LB · rank 259
They reached into another round for Wesley Bissainthe, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. It is more luxury than necessity; they were already set here.
R7.19 · Pick 235 · Thaddeus Dixon · CB · rank 214
They barely believed it either: Thaddeus Dixon still on the board at pick 235. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
R7.28 · Pick 244 · Barion Brown · WR · rank 252
The board had cheaper options than Barion Brown at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. It fills a real need, too.
