The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Ryan Flournoy, pick 241, roughly 37 picks past where he belonged. Solid and sensible more than spectacular: a B.
They are betting Murphy proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a go-to option on the outside. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Bralen Trice in pick 66 lands just on the right side of the ledger. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
No drama and no debate, Zak Zinter went about where he belonged in the 98th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Value with a capital V on Braelon Allen in No. 119, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Dwight McGlothern at Round 5, Pick 22 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor itch, scratched.
They left a pile of value on the table to take Myles Murphy this early at the 198th pick. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
They will replay Ryan Flournoy at slot 241 for years; that is how good the value is. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
